<h4 class="dechead">On One Hand: Multiple Benefits
NIH researchers have shown that fish oil has multiple benefits, including reducing the risk of heart attacks, stroke and abnormal heart rhythm and lowering blood pressure. Some studies have shown a benefit on cognitive function and mood as well.
On the Other: Fish Oil Upsets the Stomach
One of the main side effects of fish oil is an upset stomach. Certain doses of fish oil can also cause diarrhea that is sometimes severe as well as abdominal pain and bloating.
Bottom Line
Fish oil does not help with the stomach flu and, in fact, can worsen the symptoms.
