I was ordered by my cardiologist a long time ago to take, I think it was Fish Oil capsules three times daily.
I did start taking it for a while, but found that it caused heartburn. ( I already have terrible GERD and have to take Protonix twice daily) For this reason I stopped I have now more recently realized that I really need to try to take the Fish Oil, and I have taken it twice daily for a while, but the same thing happens, heartburn in PM. Is there something I can take in substitution? I know that I could eat Salmond every day or so, but I do not. Any suggestions? Thanks |

Try krill oil. No GI upset with it . I get ours at costco
Very affordably.

IME, not all fish/krill oils, etc. are created equal. Just as some taste (and re-taste, if you catch my drift... ) "fishier" than others, the "heartburn factor" can vary significantly as well.
OTOH, if you've tried them all... fish oil alternatives Doc

thanks to you both
The Fish Oil I have been taking lately is Enteric Coated Fish Oil by Spring Value. I have tried another kind before. I will try Krill Oil next. I do eat a lot of flax seed, I use about a tbs. of flaxseed on my oatmeal porage daily, and also add strawberries and extra amt. blueberries. I use only Olive Oil for cooking. Also use some shrimps. By the way, regarding supplement for neuropathy, I also find the Alpha Lipoic Acid, by Natures Bounty, hard on the GI system ( nausea ) I have to try another brand if possible. Thanks |

Or you could take an algae oil, such as Opti3. Algae are where the fish get their omega 3s from. It's DHA and EPA, so it's much better utilised by the body than flaxseed oil.
