10 Side Effects of Fish Oil
Fish Oil Side Effect #4: Diarrhea
Diarrhea is one of the more commonly associated side effects of fish oil. It is much more common when you’re using higher doses of fish oil.
It’s not just fish oil that can cause diarrhea, though. Any type of omega-3 fatty acids can cause diarrhea, from flax oil to hemp oil. One of the easiest ways to avoid getting diarrhea is to take your fish oil with a meal. If this doesn’t work, decrease your dose, and make sure that you eat a lot of fibre.
