omega-3

Avatar f tn Hey ladies have any of you gotten a Dr's advice on best source of omega 3 for baby's brain development? I was told that ground flaxseed is best but other literature says that fish oil is better as it has the DHA property. Any advice???
122065 tn?1241385329 Yes, I do take ******* Omega Guard which is a full spectrum of seven Omega-3's including DHA and EPA. I understand that there have been many studies on the benefits of Omega Fish oil on the eyes and body as a whole, so I started using it sometime ago. I'll continue with that and give the Restasis a good try. I have no risk factors such as high cholesterol, high blood pressure, heart disease, diabetes or obesity, so I think your suggestion of 2 a day is fine.
Avatar n tn This has reduced the palpitations but the headache still comes on with chest pain and stomach upset. Sometimes the headache eases as the day progresses but other days it is there all the time, moving around my head as a constant pressure. I do not think that I am suffering from "panic attacks" as they come on suddenly at any time regardless of whether I am feeling anxious or not. I take medication for high blood pressure. Any suggestions? Many thanks.
1655526 tn?1330655629 So im not crazy after all.. I have told doctors and other people that fish and omega 3 bother my arrthymia. Noone believed me but I know what happens and it isnt pretty. I stay away from it. I did find an article once that said its good for the heart but people with arrythmias it can make them go into life threating ones.
Avatar n tn My husband has severe dry eyes, and has started taking omega 3 and flax seed oil. It is working very well, but his dose (after gradual increase to a point of benefit) is more than recommended. Can he overdose on 3 times the normal dose of purified omega 3 fish oil..the brand he takes is Health from the Sea PFO pure fish oil liquid. He takes twice the dose of the flax seed oil (same brand name).
518994 tn?1212242047 I read where Omega 3 was good for your dog. Is it a different Omega 3 or is it the same that humans take?
Avatar f tn I take one to fight babybrain. Omegas are stripped from myelin shealths during pregnancy and since they act as lubricant in the conduction of, essentially thoughts, our thought process is slowed. I didn't ask my doc about it yet but it does clear up fog in my brain.
Avatar f tn you know, I haven't been taking the Omega 3 since I got pregnant - they make me nauseous. I just take my prenatals daily. I try to eat healthy(doesn't always happen) but i do try. I didnt take any Omega 3 with my other kids and their fine, so oh well.
Avatar f tn I take my prenatal pill one times a day. And It has everything I need But No omega 3 an I heard to take it 2nd or 3rd trimester. Just don't remember what was said.
Avatar m tn I took an Omega-3 supplement for the first time before going to bed last night, and when I woke up one eye was very swollen and puffy. The only allergies I have had are seasonal. Could I be allergic to the Omega-3 supplement?
Avatar n tn I am not sure of your question. Are you asking where omega 3 and omega 6 foods come from? Omegas 3 / 6 are polyunsaturated oils that help lower cholesterol and help prevent blood platelets from clotting blood vessel walls. The best source is fish especially mackerel, tuna, salmon, and lake trout. Fish should be eaten 2-3 times a week. Omega 3 are found in whole nuts, soy nuts / oil, and canola oil. Recommend 1-2 teaspoons of nuts daily. Hope this answered your question.
Avatar f tn 5ng /ml from 9ng /ml) , Indian goose berry juice 20ml per day for vitamin C (Jatashankar warned that this juice is known to cause renal stones, so thinking of stopping it) I am from India and vegetarian, diet is rice, Dal (lentil), curd (Indian yogurt), cooked and raw veggies, fruit (banana, and papaya, and apple). Milk only in tea twice a day. No cheese. Can anyone help in suggesting proper diet/supplements? Felt very good between 2 and 4 months of entecavir.
Avatar n tn Hi everyone, I'm currently 13 weeks pregnant and everything I eat seems to upset my stomach (like food poisening) even though that's not the case. I haven't had any morning sickness or nausea though. Is this happening to anyone else?
Avatar f tn I also throw up from constipation! So you're not the only one and it totally stinks! I hope the mirilax works for you though! I've had 3 successful nonpainful bowel movements now.
Avatar m tn This small study suggests it helps and there are any health benefts to getting sufficient Omega- 3 in diet Omega 3 study
Avatar f tn An omega-3 overdose is likely to cause any of the usual omega-3 side effects, but perhaps more severely. In particular, stomach upset can be expected. In serious cases, an overdose could increase the risk of bleeding, including dangerous internal bleeding, such as gastrointestinal bleeding or bleeding in the brain.
Avatar n tn Where are the pains exactly? I'm having intense stomach pains from the top of my naval to the top of my stomach and they are refrerring it to GERD (Acid Reflux Disease). I'd go see your GI and see if they can do an upper endoscopy on you. I'm going in on the 3rd to for one to see if I have GERD or a peptic ulcer. Drink a lot of water and a very bland diet (toast with peanut butter).
Avatar n tn I have had. stomach problems my whole life as well, mine. got really bad around 3 years ago. It Is getting worse and don't know what to do either. Are there some days where the pain is different or feels like a. different pain in the same area? I don't eat dairy I don't have a gallbladder anymore and its still really bad and I have even started questioning living. Do you have any tea's or meds that help at all?
Avatar f tn For the past couple days ive had a upset stomach to the point that its making me vomit. Have or did any of you ladies experience something similar this far along in your pregnancy?
Avatar f tn t make me the least nauseous is the nature made prenatal liquid gels with dha and omega-3. The key is they are liquid gels not solids so they are 10x easier on your stomach to digest! :-) they are over the counter. They are ranked in the top 10 of prenatal vitamins (after a bunch of expensive organic ones.) Lol And they aren't terribly expensive. I get them at local grocery where I shop for about 20$ for a 3 month supply.
612551 tn?1450022175 In particular, people taking fish oil or long-chain omega-3 fatty acid (EPA and DHA) supplements in combination with anticoagulant drugs, including aspirin, clopidogrel (Plavix), dalteparin (Fragmin), dipyridamole (Persantine), enoxaparin (Lovenox), heparin, ticlopidine (Ticlid) and warfarin (Coumadin), should have their coagulation status monitored using a standardized prothrombin time assay (INR).
287479 tn?1272730364 I would ask the doctor is there are any risks with taking Omega 3 supplements and lovenox at the same time. I do know that Omega 3 does help reduce blood clots so you probably would be better off with one blood thinner instead of two. Of course, I would go the natural route and just take the Omega 3 and not the Lovenox BUT I'm not a doctor and I don't really know your health history. But I'd rather go natural and see what happens.
Avatar m tn Higher concentrations of EPA and DHA, the active components in omega-3s, can also be found in LOVAZA — the first and only prescription omega-3 medication. It is important to know that some types of fish may contain mercury and other pollutants from the environment. Therefore, the American Heart Association (AHA) cautions that some people should limit the amount of certain types of fish they eat.
