I am testing it out to see if it might help with inflammation, but do worry about it might causing diarrhea. I ordered a good quality product that comes in capsules. Anyone who takes omega-3 with a jpouch that do well with them and see any benefits? Thanks!

I take it for borderline high blood pressure on recommendation of my cardiologist. It has helped me keep my blood pressure under the 135/85 threshold my cardiologist said I must keep it under. As for anti-inflammatory properties, I have chronic inflammation in J Pouch and neonterminal ileum and that inflammation is being properly treated with Remicade, and antibiotics as needed. What the fish oil caps add, if anything, is unknown. I certainly wouldn't use it as a substitute for those other treatments. However it likely cannot hurt and can only help, and certainly does help on my BP.

Thanks! I will give it a go!
I take fish oil (3600mg -1296mg EPA and 864 DHA) It consists of three tablets a day, which I take 2 in the morning and 1 at noon. If I take them at night, I will have incontinence
They have helped my good cholesterol to increase in numbers, but I'm not so sure its changing the inflamation much. I'm on Entyvio to improve my pouch inflamation and use antibiotics if needed. (Thankfully not needed as much as before the Entyvio.)
Hope this gives you some usable information.

Any reason why they would cause gut issues during the night and not during the day?
I have no idea, but that is how it works for me. Maybe because during the day I'm more aware when I need to empty.

I see. Hopefully I won’t have any gut issues!
