cramps with omega fish oil

[Anonymous]

Is this common? I feel like this vitamin which includes Omega 3’s, 5, 6’s, 7's, 8's and 9’s is giving me cramps and gas. Does it go away with time?

I always got gas when I was taking fish oil-based Omega 3s. Like, fishy-smelling gas. Hated it and stopped it.

OP here again. It's my fifth day on the fish oil omega pills (dpo5) and the cramps are bad. We're talking pinchy lower and upper abdominal discomfort. Will my body get used to them? If not, are prenatal vitamins sufficient? I want to make this work, but...

You should not be having cramps from vitamins for 5 days. Are you sure you don't have a virus or food poisoning or something?

There are plenty of prenatals out there that are gentle on your stomach. Ditch these and get something else!

Thanks, PP. The pain isn't as intense as food poisoning or viral cramps. It is uncomfortable, but not severe. I try to stick it out for another few days and then see if the pain abates.
