Hello, My doctor recommended I try fish oil? And I have had it before.. and it gave me terrible gas. Is there any fish oil supplements around that make you less burpy? I asked my doctor, she didn't know. What fish oil do you recommend I try? Thanks!

Some of them say "burp less" on them. I can't take any kind of it.

i've taken carlson's and didn't have burps from it. i've tried many other brands though and never get burps. i prefer the lemon and orange flavors.

I take krill oil and find it is less burpy than fish oil.

I felt like my UC symptoms got worse when I was on fish oil but perhaps i was teetering on the edge of a flare up regardless. I do not take it since for fear I will see blood in the toilet.

Fish oil is probably one of most messiest supplement in terms of marketing and not knowing whats exactly in there. I went though a lot of brands and read up a ton. Learned how marketing is done to mislead us.

Finally, I settled down on Kirkland's enteric coated fish oil (blue container label and MEG-3 approved, doesn't give burps). DS takes Nordic Naturals Ultimate Omega.

I used to take Coromega fish oil packets. Definitely no burps. My son eats it straight out of the packet but the taste is too orangey for me so i would mix it in yogurt or pudding.
