Over the last 2 years I have eaten seafish on 3 different occasions. I have gotten ill each time getting more severe. (ill equates to throwing up). I am totally afraid of even trying fish anymore. I recently bought some Omega-3 fish oil thinking that it isnt much. I just came off the
Master-Cleanse and started taking the oil. Huge mistake. I thought I was going to die. Has taken me 1 full day to recover.
Prior to these episodes, I never had a problem. What gives?

Were there different fish? With scales? With a shell? Would the fish be considered kosher? Caught near shoreline?
When you took the Omega-3 fish oil, did you consume any other foods containing fat? Did your stomach have a 'buffer' layer of food before consuming the fish oil?

Stay away from all shelled fish: crab, lobster, shrimp and snails.
Also mollusks (clams and oysters) should be avoided.
Your allergist should be able to provide you with a complete listing of ingredients that may indicate shellfish and/or fish protein. There are always new products being created with newly processed ingredient names. If you don’t know the exact nature of the ingredient, don’t eat it!
