Does fishoil come in any other form except those gigantic gel tabs? If so, where can I find it?

I've had swollen tonsils, uvula, and sore throat since May 2011. This makes it hard to swallow gigantic pills.

Thanks.
 
Thank you so much bangarang. You're being so helpful. I'm guessing liquid fish oil might taste awful and in lieu of that, I might not be able to tolerate it. Krill Oil on the other hand sounds more tolerable.

Would Krill Oil work in the same fashion as Fish Oil? I'm using Fish Oil because the oil glands in my eyes are producing oil that is the consistency of toothpaste in lieu of the consistency of Olive Oil.
 
Hard to say, I started it about the time I started Humira.
I got a head cold the same time as my boss, he is still dealing with it big time and I am almost over it.
 
I take fish oil (liquid) and the taste is really not that bad and I don't even like fish. :wink:

Before taking and upon my doctors recommendation, I did some research and found out that the previous brand I was taking was making me sicker than I already was. One of my Doc's pointed me to a website to ensure I was taking a kind that was tested, was not contaminated and, just provided me some more info on what I was taking.

PCP doc okayed me to take krill oil. Said I needed to take twice the dose listed on the bottle. Apprarently it comes in both liquid and gel form. I think I'll stick with the gel form. I gag way too easily. LOL!

Doc is going to have a pharmacy compound my vitamin D into a liquid for me. Just can't take the huge tablets any more. Hurts my wrist and hands to crush them. Sigh...
 
Lots of liquid fish oil and flaxseed oil available. How much extra is needed/helpful for Crohn's? I've taken it for years, before my recent flareup.
