Q. Has anything shown that fish oil is effective in reducing chronic diarrhea? It worked instantly for me, although I started taking it for heart health. The results were startling--no more runs or trots.A. The only research we could find on this question was in rats (Digestive Diseases and Sciences, June 2007). The scientists gave the rats a drug that caused chronic diarrhea, and the fish oil sped intestinal repair and recovery. We don’t know if this will work for anyone else, but fish oil certainly has enough health benefits to be worth a try.
How much fish oil should you take? I always hear about how good fish oil is but never about how much should be taken, and should the dosage be spaced out or can it be taken at one time?
I had chronic diarrhea and cramps for a long time and the doc found no particular reasons for it. I started taking the fish oil for its heart benefits and found the problem went away about the same time.
