I get the coated ones too. I also read if not coated you can put in the freezer and it takes away the fish burp. If you see you are starting to bruise easliy that could be a sign of too much fish oil or am I wrong?Now my eye doc may be confused but he said not to mix the fish oill pills and flaxseed oil pills daily because it mixes up the compisition of the oil glands.Is this wrong cause it souds it to me but I may be wrong. It sounds though you are saying to have both?In any regards I am glad you are doing better.
