Guest guest Posted October 9, 2004 Report Share Posted October 9, 2004 Hi, I've been prescribed Maxepa. I take 10 capsules a day, in batches of five twice a day, with meals. Each 1g capsule contains 170mg EPA and 115mg DHA. I have noticed some digestive disturbance, putting it politely Adam > > > Hello, > > I was just wondering how much fish oil people are taking in this > group. > > Thanks, > > Christa > > > > > > > To edit your settings for the group, go to our Yahoo Group > home page: > http://groups.yahoo.com/group/iga-nephropathy/ > > To unsubcribe via email, > iga-nephropathy-unsubscribe > Visit our companion website at www.igan.ca.

Guest guest Posted October 9, 2004 Report Share Posted October 9, 2004 I have a hard time tolerating fish oil...I don't eat fish, so when I have fish burps, it is hard for me take. But, the one thing my doctor said is that I should take as much as I can possibly tolerate. Start with a certain dose and keep working your way to a higher dose until you just can't tolerate it any more. Just try to get a pure form. I have also been told that freezing the fish oil pills helps to minimize the fishy side effects. Who knows if that is true, but it is worth trying!!! tri_guy36 wrote: The fish oil I take has 200 mg of docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) per capsule. My Neph has prescribed 1200 mg of DHA a day. So I take six of these capsules a day and have rally fishy breath.

Guest guest Posted October 9, 2004 Report Share Posted October 9, 2004 I take Super purEPA by Solaray. Each capsule contains 360 mg EPA and 240 mg DHA, and I take six each morning. After taking fish oil for awhile I tolerate it well. The three sodium bicarb I take give me far more " troubles.

Guest guest Posted October 10, 2004 Report Share Posted October 10, 2004 Some folks here have also reported less side effects with the enteric capsules. I've noticed these are available at Costco.
