Thanks Stacy I saved this to my favorites!

That guy does a lot of reviews on supplements that seem pretty thourough.

Oddly enough, my fish oil is causing diarrhea. I had no idea it was the fish oil causing me this issue. Oddly it didn't happen the first couple weeks but I know it is the fish oil, when I quit even one day it goes away. I cut back from 1 tablespoon to a teaspoon and its better but loose. I also get stomach pain the first 30 minutes after I take it.

This is my first experience with fish oil so I dunno.

Stacy...is there Sorbitol sweetener in that liquid fish oil you take?

Sorbitol is a laxative.

When I click on non active ingredients it says:

Sweeteners

Added to make the nutrients more palatable only in chewable tablets or liquids. Sweeteners found naturally in fruits such as fructose and sorbitol are chosen. More information on fructose and sorbitol can be sent to you upon request.

This is disheartening.

Well this sucks.

I pay all this money for carlsons finest fish oil and it has sorbitol. I have about 1/3 left and now I realize my body is not going to get use to this sorbitol and cant take it.

I just ordered more fish oil from amazon a couple days ago, paid even MORE money for nordic natural omega 3 liquid lemon fish oil and now I am worried they have sorbitol. I cant find a list of their non active ingredients so I have no idea if they do or not.

this. sucks.

I got sick on sorbitol in Hershey's kisses one summer on vacation (where we have only an outhouse!). It was hidden in the ingredients. I called them up and gave them a piece of my mind!

If you search "sorbitol IBS" you'll find sites that blame sorbitol for IBS now. And I believe that.

Sorbitol is in PEZ sugar free candies, which my son discovered when he was 6. I think people develop a sensitivity to it and so smaller amounts become as laxative as the higher amounts.

Sorbitol is hidden in many foods. In the past only dietetic diabetic sugar containing foods/candies. But now it is in everything! I don't like this situation either.
I let the manufacturer know that I am no longer a customer because of this factor! That "moves" them more than anything. (pun intended).

Thanks for the heads up MrsD!

I did no about sorbitol as it is in many low carb bars and I know to only eat ONE or a small amount if I really want it. Like you said it is in everything but i never thought it would be in fish oil.

I can't find it anywhere on nordic but that doesn't mean it is not in there. I guess I will have to contact them.

Sorbitol should have to be plainly marked on products.

When I pointed this out to Hershey's.... they said FDA requires more obvious labeling on 50gram content per serving or more.

Well, the cherry kisses I had were not obviously labeled. And furthermore, when I had purchased them BEFORE about a year before...that ingredient was not in them. So when we left for vacation I saw an endcap of them and thought ok for desserts these are handy and I didn't read the label because I had bought them once before! I'd like to feed the techs these products who decided to do this, and the management of Hershey's and then let them loose in the woods during a thunderstorm like I was!

Sorbitol has long been a compounding aid in pharmacy in making liquid forms of some drugs. It is now in food as a humectant (preserves moisture and chewiness), and sweetener. Some people are quite sensitive to it...and I believe this sensitivity comes from several exposures.

Sorbitol is also used in hospitals and nursing homes to aid constipation of patients on high dose opiates which are extremely constipating.

Well I just called carlsons and she swore there was no sorbitol in their fish oil, she did say they used it in another product, I cant remember which one, but NOT the one I am using.

So I talked to a second person, and she swore the same thing. NO SORBITOL.

Well, that is a relief. Except now I still have a LOOSE problem, lol

MrsD I can sympathize with you. I ate atkins low carb bar, two of them the first time, it was before I really even knew what sorbitol was. OMG sat on toilet all day.

After that, I learned what sorbitol was real fast.
