Was using Fish oil for several years with no side affect; but heard Mega Red krill oil was better and I then began taking Mega Red and within a week had an itchy rash all over my body. After reading the other reviews, I believe it is time to go back on fish oil!

Took this for just under 1 month I have sticky blood. I felt that I had lots more energy than before however they did upset my stomach and gave me the trots also lots of gurgling in stomach so had to stop taking them .what a pity. I took vitabiotics ultra krill oil advanced omega-3, 500mg capsules, 1 per day.

I have only been taking Mega Red Krill for the past 30 days. Going next week for my blood work. My last colonoscopy revealed a mild case of diverticulitis. Dr. recommended to stay on a high roughage diet and I have and did not had any problems relating to the diverticulitis. I am now experiencing problems with diverticulitis. Concerned that it could be a side effect possibly from interaction with calcium and also pro-biotic. So, I have chosen to withdraw from all of the above and possibly reintroduce them, one at a time beginning with Krill. Also, will be reviewing these concerns with my Doctor in a few weeks. I plan on giving WebMD an update. My Brother has been taking krill for the past year and the Dr's were thrilled with his blood work. They reduced his cholesterol meds, and may eventually recommend Krill as a replacement.

I've tried (krill & fish oils) twice now mainly to lower my high cholesterol which in fact did work for me during dosing. That being said, if you have IBS, like me, I recommend not to take Krill (or fish) Oil. Once 5 years ago and again this last month. Both times with the same outcome. (500mg at first then 300mg once daily) Major Stomach and Bowel issues. Made me go #2 almost 20 t ... Show Full Comment

That being said, if you have IBS, like me, I recommend not to take Krill (or fish) Oil. Once 5 years ago and again this last month. Both times with the same outcome. (500mg at first then 300mg once daily) Major Stomach and Bowel issues. Made me go #2 almost 20 times a day. My stomach felt like it was turned inside out with greasy puss oozing out of my bum consistently. So much gas that I could probably run a natural gas generator. One night I counted approximately 1440 flatulents in a 9 hour period. That was one fart every 30 seconds for 9 hours strait. No Joke. (Everything back to normal two days after stopping this madness)
