Bensmom Posted May 10, 2014 Share Posted May 10, 2014 I have started taking fish oil and purchased some that claimed to have a coating to prevent taste, but the "fish burps" last for hours and are disgusting! What to do? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PinkyandtheBrains. Posted May 10, 2014 Share Posted May 10, 2014 We've had good luck with Barleans brand, both the capsules and the omega swirl liquid. No fish burps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chelle in MO Posted May 10, 2014 Share Posted May 10, 2014 So annoying! That used to happen to dh and me when we bought a brand sold at Walmart (can't remember which one). We switched to Nordic Naturals Arctic Cod Liver Oil softgels and it doesn't happen anymore. A friend of ours, who is also our chiropractor, recommended that brand.

texasmama Posted May 10, 2014 Share Posted May 10, 2014 I like Nordic Naturals. No fishy burps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shawthorne44 Posted May 10, 2014 Share Posted May 10, 2014 Depending on my mood, I either take some chewables. Or, I bought these packets like big ketchup packets that contain one serving of fishoil, but they flavor and consistency is like nutella with a bit of orange flavor added.

merry gardens Posted May 10, 2014 Share Posted May 10, 2014 Try Coromega squeeze packs. We've never had that problem with them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redsquirrel Posted May 10, 2014 Share Posted May 10, 2014 Take it before you go to bed. That is when we take it and I have never noticed a 'fish burp' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nansk Posted May 10, 2014 Share Posted May 10, 2014 I read that you are supposed take fish oil a half hour before your meals. When I take Nordic Naturals lemon fish oil softgels, I do get lemon-flavoured burps, but they are not unpleasant to me. When I take Nordic Naturals lemon liquid fish oil, I don't get burps at all. But the liquid doesn't taste like lemon, only smells like it. It tastes like nothing I know. Occasionally, instead of fish oil, I take Barlean's flax seed oil. That has a sweet, smoothie-like taste and doesn't cause burps. I am only concerned that it contains xylitol and other additives. On a related note, I noticed some manufacturers advertise enteric-coated softgels, which are supposed to survive your stomach acid and go intact to the intestines. So which is better, fish oil that is absorbed in the stomach (which is probably why we get those burps) or fish oil that is absorbed in the intestines?

arnold Posted May 10, 2014 Share Posted May 10, 2014 I keep mine in the freezer and never get those nasty burps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VaKim Posted May 10, 2014 Share Posted May 10, 2014 We keep ours in the fridge and none of the four of us have ever had any fishy burps. I did tons of research and finally ended up with the enteric coated Spring Valley that you can get at Walmart. Wish I knew where I read it, but they were one of the "approved" brands that are supposed to be "clean" and have the amount of stuff they claim to have. Before that, we took the Kirkland Signature enteric coated ones, and then the Vitacost brand uncoated. Always kept in fridge, no fish burps with any brand we tried.

umsami Posted May 10, 2014 Share Posted May 10, 2014 I've had good luck with Coromega, which is kind of like an orange pudding. I've heard good things about Barlean too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gardenmom5 Posted May 10, 2014 Share Posted May 10, 2014 I use Nordic naturals ultimate/pro omega and rarely have any taste of any kind. (and usually because I'm having other stomach issues.). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hypatia. Posted May 10, 2014 Share Posted May 10, 2014 We take Nordic Naturals ProEFA and haven't had any problems with fish burps. DS1, DD1, and I take the adult size. DD2 and DS2 take the junior size and they just chew them up and swallow them, no complaints and DS2 always asks for his "yellow fish".

Seasider Posted May 10, 2014 Share Posted May 10, 2014 I always taste it, so I switched to flaxseed oil. My doc just recommended that I switch to this (and that I take 3000mg per day - or is that iu's?). Bye bye fish burps! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
