Well, your reactions are confusing... Omega-3's are essential...meaning we cannot live without them.

They are really FOOD and not supplements.
So your next best thing is to eat foods that supply them.
Many foods today, have them incorporated. Eggs, peanut butter,
mayo, spreads, some breakfast cereals, even the chicken nuggets we get at Costco have Omega-3s in them.

If you bought the enteric coated bromelain and cut them, the protection is lost. Small doses of bromelain are a peptide for digestion, and it is lost in the stomach when acid breaks it up.
Many people use it this way, but not much will get into the body proper. Estimates are "ideally" with the coating only 40% is absorbed then.

None of the fats are absorbed in moments. Fats slow the stomach emptying, and remain there for a while..and sometimes hours if taken with other foods. So I don't know what is going on with you "in moments". I really don't understand that at all.

When we do eat, insulin is sent out quickly however, and also cortisol rises, with breakfast, and a little less with dinner.
Perhaps some other metabolic thing is causing your leg issues.
