Are you D or C? My doctor told me that fish oil can be beneficial to C. Intuition tells me it would maybe not be helpful for D.

Generally speaking, diet wise, oils are bad primarily because they contribute so much fat, which is a gastrocolic reflex trigger and thus causes problems for D and C. I don't think fish oil capsules will hurt you, at least not two a day.

On the other hand, I've read studies that say that fish oil capsules are actually pretty useless. What condition are you taking them for?
