However, that one has gelatin ... I have to find vegan brands. My vegan prenatal is awesome ... but tastes like tea for the 2 seconds it's on my tongue. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hard-time-taking-my-dhaepa-supplements#post-536457 Wed, 30 Jan 2013 12:29:52 +0000 Vegmama 536457@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@JerricaBenton: My friend suggested that too! I'm going to have to try it. This gagging thing is a bit much, ha. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hard-time-taking-my-dhaepa-supplements#post-536418 Wed, 30 Jan 2013 12:17:57 +0000 yoursilverlining 536418@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I took this brand and had no trouble with it - no fishy taste and the pills didn't make me gag.</p> <p><a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B001F0RA34/ref=oh_details_o05_s00_i00" rel="nofollow">http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B001F0RA34/ref=oh_details_o05_s00_i00</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hard-time-taking-my-dhaepa-supplements#post-536417 Wed, 30 Jan 2013 12:17:40 +0000 JerricaBenton 536417@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Put them in the freezer. They don't smell/taste like much when they are super cold and they are a bit heavier and sink down in your stomach faster so less of a chance of burping them up. I think it's actually better for absorption too! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hard-time-taking-my-dhaepa-supplements#post-536411 Wed, 30 Jan 2013 12:15:35 +0000 blackbird 536411@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Uhhh i haven't even taken mine since I got pregnant. I also have the Nordic Naturals ones, but mine are lemon flavored. I just gave up on taking them. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hard-time-taking-my-dhaepa-supplements#post-536407 Wed, 30 Jan 2013 12:14:12 +0000 tororojo 536407@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I switched to taking mine right before I crawl into bed at night, so if they make me feel bad or if I can taste it later, at least I'm asleep! I never had a problem with vitamins until I started taking prenatals with DHA. Don't know if yours are OTC or prescription, but I had a reeeally hard time with the prescription ones! The Target brand is so much milder. Also I eat a snack before bed every night (usually a small bowl of cereal) so I'm not taking them on an empty stomach. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hard-time-taking-my-dhaepa-supplements#post-536405 Wed, 30 Jan 2013 12:13:28 +0000 Ash 536405@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I take nordic naturals strawberry flavored dha... I've never had any problems. Sorry I'm no help but good luck! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hard-time-taking-my-dhaepa-supplements#post-536390 Wed, 30 Jan 2013 12:08:35 +0000 Vegmama 536390@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Please tell me I'm not the only one who has a hard time taking fish oil?!?! I'm a vegetarian, so my 'fish oil' is actually derived from algea (but that's what fish eat to smell fishy, so it all tastes the same). My daily prenatal &amp; DHA/EPA (the fishy ones) are both vegan, so I figured they'd be okay. I find myself gagging &amp; almost throwing up every time I take the stupid 'fish oil'. My friend told me her midwife suggests taking 3 at a time during pregnancy. I know I'm a prime candidate for morning sickness, so I am terrified of these pills! Is there anything you did to keep that taste from making you gag? </p>
