Guest guest Posted January 26, 2010 Report Share Posted January 26, 2010 Hey there... ? I am new to the diet (17 weeks and counting!) so I have not been able to add Omega 3 back in yet (I am still working on some other supplements to be sure I can tolerate them). However, I can tell you that I am a big fan of Puritan's Pride TRIPLE STRENGTH OMEGA-3 FISH OIL 1360 mg: http://www.puritan.com/omega-3-products-128/triple-strength-omega-3-fish-oil-136\ 0-mg-016105?NewPage=1 I cannot recommend a dosage for you though ;( I have an integrative medical doctor who educates his patients about balancing Omega-3s and Omega-6s in their diet. He uses the Fish Oil as a balancer to your diet when you are too high in Omega-6s- his theory is that we need to eat at a 2:1 (or 1:1) ratio and not a 20:1 raito as most American's do! The great news is that the SCD diet is so healthy that it already cuts out a lot of the Omega-6 culprits. Sorry I can't be more specific about a dosage. Hopefully you can find some guidance! -Joanna SCD 17 weeks, Crohn's 1992 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 27, 2010 Report Share Posted January 27, 2010 I take 1000 MG of salmon oil, 1000 MG of a blend of anchovy/mackerel/sardine oil, and 1000 MG of cod liver oil per day. I think it's helpful. Holly Crohn's SCD 12/01/08 > > > Does anyone take Omega 3 fish oil and if so, does it really help?

Guest guest Posted January 28, 2010 Report Share Posted January 28, 2010 I take an omega 3-6-9-D supplement. I think it's helped but I am not sure what the exact dose is.

Guest guest Posted January 29, 2010 Report Share Posted January 29, 2010 Last week, our doc told us that there's huge benefits from taking 1000 to 3000 mg per day of Omega 3. But he made us stop taking omega 3-6-9. He said something about most people getting wayyyy too much omega 6 or something like that, or 6 was the last thing we needed.... Sorry.. I can't remember exactly, but his tone of voice and insistence on the issue made me accept it right away. I trashed the 3-6-9 and got plain old omega 3. He also told us that the best food sources of omega 3 were walnuts and coldwater fish. This lengthy webmd article looks very helpful http://www.webmd.com/diet/guide/good-fat-bad-fat-facts-about-omega-3 To: BTVC-SCD Sent: Fri, January 29, 2010 9:49:37 AMSubject: Re: Re: Omega 3 My chiropractor/kinesiologist told me 2000mg daily.ClaireJust started, still undiagnosed.
