Hmm...never heard of that unless you got a bad patch of the cod liver oil.

Or perhaps you took too much. If you want a couple days then try it again

and get the same results maybe that oil was bad?

If you are having issues with cod liver oil then i would be looking at a few

things first - what brand? as they are not all created equal. there are solvants

and soy based vitamin E in many brands out there. I would also suggest getting

a copy of Donald Lepore's book on balancing the body as to what could be out of

sink here if this is the reaction you are getting. It could be anything

fromsolvants to poor digestion to chiropractic adjustments needed .........

Cod Liver Oil does not " give " you diarrhea. Emulsified cod liver oil

is the most bioavailable of all, however cod liver oil, especially if

they are the inferior brands found in your local pharmacies will not

produce the same benefit as pharmaceutical or Norwegian fish oils

found at your local health food store. Also cod liver oil is extremely

high in vitamin A and it is difficult to rely on cod liver oil alone

to provide your optimal amounts of omega-3s. For this reason I would

advise using only Norwegian fish oil. spectrum naturals is an

excellent brand, also Carlson's.

It recently came to my attention that Carlson's uses a soy based

vitamin E for preserving their cod liver oil. Most are preserved with

soy based E . Two that are not are Wilderness Family (currently

unavailable but will be back into production soon) and the cod liver

oil from http://www.greenpastures.org - I believe this is the same

brand available through drron.com which is an interesting and very

informative web site.

I am not promoting any specific brand of fish oil. I'm sure if

Carlson's includes soy oil in their products, it would be organic

soy oil! Although soy oil is an omega 6 as well, which goes against

all logic to use soy oil in a fish supplement. I'm not going to take

your word for it, Carlson's is a very good brand of fish supplement

(taken directly from pristine Norwegian waters) and more often than

not this would be just some sort of hearsay from a fierce

competitor in the field. The vitamin wars can be just as problematic

as all the big pharma rhetoric I've found. I trust this brand,

that's the bottom line and I stand by my comments, however I don't

use cod liver oil myself and I don't recommend anyone else's use of

cod liver oil products! You misread my post completely, hon!!

If you wish to comment on my post, please read it first. Thanks!

Myself, I prefer TwinLabs but what ever brand you uses ,I think its

important that brand is certified to be free of heavy metals and PCB.

 

mod.note - Michael T. Murray, ND, advises Pharmaceutical and Norwegian fish

oils to be free of heavy metals and other contaminants, however this is an area

where we need to do our own research, I believe.
