Try taking a smaller amount and build up slowly. I take fish oil capsules and I find taking them with food helps.

You really need to take oils with food, you would feel sick if you just had a teaspoon of olive oil too on an empty stomach I don't take fish oil anyway, I prefer to get the Omgea 3 from flaxseed oil, it tastes so much nicer and I just use it as a salad dressing or in smoothies, you could even drizzle it over your vegies, pasta, anything really

Whats the ratio of fish oil to flaxseed?

Whats the ratio of fish oil to flaxseed?

I don't understand this question. Do you mean how much flaxseed oil do you need to take to equal fish oil? It would depend upon the concentrations of the oils but also they are not directly comparable. Flaxseed oil has a very high omega 3 to omega 6 ratio and should not be taken on it's own. Fish oil is generally a well balanced omega oil. For a vegetarian omega oil I used to take Udo's Oil but it's still not as well balanced. It tastes great though- better than flaxseed oil.

How are you going taking the fish oil now?
