Ok, I have now tried two different omega and they are both horrible - as in I gag trying to get them down.  Do they all taste like gagtastic?  I have tried the coromega orange and BA cherry (I think it is) bleck!  Any other suggestions?

Get fish oil of flaxseed oil in soft gels and swallow them?  I haven't tried fish oil since I'm a vegetarian but the flaxseed oil soft gels have no taste (at least in my opinion).

I thought we couldn't digest the soft gel oil capsules?  If we can take those, maybe I will just move to the krill oil since they are smaller pills.

I take the krill oil. Not aftertaste.

We can digest the capsules.  We malabsorb fats, meaning we don't absorb them fully, and the oil in the soft gels is a fat.  We absorb some of them, though.  But omega 3 fatty acids are fats, no matter how we take them, so that's an issue whether it's in a softgel or not.

If you dont like the Coromega (I like it).....I guess you best go to the softgels like Kelly says.
