Re: Primrose Oil side effect

[Guest guest]

Has anyone had trouble having diarrhea after taking large amounts of

Primrose Oil? I recently started taking 1300 mg. a day and had this

effect. However, it could have also occurred because I ate some cheese

that day and I rarely eat dairy. Sorry this is a gross subject.

I've only had trouble with evening primrose oil once. It appeared to be

a bad batch-gone rancid or something. It upset my stomach and I was

burping it half the day. The tase was very unpleasant. After that

experience, I began buying brands that I was sure would be well

processed. The one that made me sick wasn't a high quality name brand.

You may have a sensitivity to it, also. I've heard of this. You could

try flax seed oil instead. There are other similar oils out there, too

(pumpkin seed).
