there are a couple catches for ibs-ers re: omega oils:

they work best when taken with a meal that is high in fat. so, that's out for us. even in those w/out ibs, they very often cause what is known as 'fish burps.' the brand i have (Eskimo-3 by Tyler) is supposed to not cause these burps. that much seems true. i have it in both capsules and liquid. i've been encouraged to take them for perhaps (?) some added antidepressant help for my major depressive disorder - not for ibs.

i have heard some (even w/out ibs) say they have some laxative effect.

i have tried them several times, and each & every time - hard to describe - let's just say my entire GI tract feels unwell. (but no burps, tho! lol) i did not notice all that much of a laxative effect, if any. they are VERY good for the heart, so if you can tolerate, stick with. otherwise, i'd ditch 'em in a ny minute...and i did. i'm done with them!
