Problem with fish

[Nimue]

I have a problem with fish and fish oil.

From the smell and taste of fish I get nausea, since childhood I can´t eat fish, over
the years I try to eat fish in various preparations but I can´t bear the fish taste, also
fish oil really upset me (my stomach). ( sorry for the smiley but it shows best what happens to me!)

My question is : when I don´t eat fish or supplement fish oil, is it
sufficient to supplement with more flax seed oil (at the moment I supplement 2 Tb. spoons per day), or are in this case further supplements indicated ?.
I wonder, why my body react in this way,
maybe I can´t tolerate fish ? ( I have blood type 0) I have never heard from a fish intolerance before. Has anybody made similar experiences ?

Note: I haven´t found a thread about non fish eaters and supplementation, if this
was discussed before…. a link to the thread would be great.

Other view's are very welcome ! Thank you.

Hi Nimue,

I am not a specialist but have you tried coconut oil ?

Here's a link to an article on SOTT about the benefits of coconut oil :

http://www.sott.net/articles/show/224164-Coconut-Oil-Benefits-When-Fat-Is-Good-For-You

And you can do a search on SOTT with the words "coconut oil" and you will have plenty of good articles to read.

Hi Gandalf,

thank you for your reply. I use coconut oil for cooking and tolerate it very well, with this fish thing I make myself a little bit crazy , cause I think I get not enough good oils when I don´t eat fish , but coconut oil as alternative is a good advice. ( I read all the Sott articles, but never have had the idea that I can use it as alternative ) Thank you !

Hi Nimue,

Coconut oil is delicious and it can be taken internally.

I have been taking since the beginning of the month at least a tablespoon a day of biological coconut oil.

Right now, I am reading that book and it is very interesting to discover all the good benefits of the coconut oil. Miam, miam
