In reply to fish oil I see not all can take it why is this?, posted by Phillipa on February 25, 2012, at 11:55:45
Some people do not metabolize fish oil properly, and one of the substances in it is transformed into a toxic substance rather than the desired beneficial substance. This has been seen in lyme disease and I'm sure that's not the only place it happens. You had/have lyme disease so it is a realistic consideration.
There are probably hundreds of possible explanations. None really matter except for interesting table talk. What really matters is....listen to what your body is telling you. I think it is too early yet to conclude your body is saying it doesn't want fish oil, but is probably saying you are taking too much too soon. You might want to consider taking 1/8th of the regular dose to start with and then build up slowly over weeks and months to find your best dose. That means liquid instead of capsules. Without trying ultra low doses, you will never know whether the problem was....wrong supplement...or...wrong dose. So it makes a lot of sense to try the dosing thing before doing anything else.
