Larry - Carlson's fish oil

Posted by oeps7 on October 21, 2003, at 8:18:24

Hi Larry,
Have you heard of anyone having the same problem on Carlson's fish oil? I purchased the Super DHA type 500mg per capsule.
After taking these I had extreme stomach problems for close to 3 days. I purchased a different brand and am fine again. Maybe too much DHA? Nothing like having to travel 7 hours in a car with extreme stomach trouble lol.

I could only speculate at the cause. It could be a coincidence (e.g. food poisoning/gastroenteritis). It could be a bad batch. It could be that that particular container had been mistreated prior to your purchasing it. Who knows. It's enough to know that another brand doesn't cause the adverse effects, IMHO.

Best,
Lar
