Do fish oils cause bloating and weight gain?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not Likely: Fish oil in small supplements should not cause bloating or subsequent weight gain. It's not likely an allergy as that is caused by the fish protein not the fat derived oil. More likely it's a different food, hormonal change or irritable bowel.
