Hi, Vanessa,
do not be too much preoccupied with fishy odour!
Yes, when you take fish oil pills, then you can taste something bad in your mouth because of the process of digesting them, but I do not think that this can control ALL your relationships with other people.
You did not mention your occupation, nor if you are engaged with someone, however, sometimes we worry too much about problems that are big... just for us!
Take this real example, I hope it will be enlightening and encouraging: one morning my colleague was at my side, speaking to me and I did not notice anything strange, then suddenly, she asked embarrassed: "Can you smell garlic odour? I am sorry, last evening I ate garlic and now my mouth tastes awful!!!" "NO, at all" "Are you sure?" "Yes, do not worry.", and so on for some minutes. Though I could not smell any garlic odour she was convinced of the contrary and at last I got her understand that it was only her "inside" problem.
So please, keep on taking fish oil or, if you like it, eat simply fish and be serene about yourself.
Best wishes, Claudia

The fresher the fish oil the less the odor.

I recommend carlson's cod liver oil....that has the fatty acids plus the D which is invaluable for depression. It can be found in any good health food store.

2 teaspoons in a cup with a lid and SHAKEN for a minute with OJ...and it doesn't even taste that bad going in doing it that way.

GNC makes a type of fish oil that is deodorized so you don't get the fish breath. It is a little more expensive(about $10) but worth it if you can't stand the fish breath.

Fish oil will not help - it will make it worse.

Research on website : NORD - national organsiation for rare diseases
Have a look at Fishy Odour syndrome or Trimethlyminuria.

My daughter eats incorrect foods and her smell of fish...or tuna....is intense and comes out of her pores.

The only way to help is to avoid certain foods - egg yolks, peas, yellow cheese - only eat goats milk cheese, avoid cabbage and brocolli, no fish at all - no intestinal meat like liver, ...

Perfume, creams etc dont cover the smells...and it is not a bad body odour.

Have a look at the help online at NORD and support groups...there are a few people who suffer from this,....my daughter has had it since birth - she is now 18..

feel free to contact me if you have any questions.
