Q. Has anything shown that fish oil is effective in reducing chronic diarrhea? It worked instantly for me, although I started taking it for heart health. The results were startling–no more runs or trots.
A. The only research we could find on this question was in rats (Digestive Diseases and Sciences, June 2007). The scientists gave the rats a drug that caused chronic diarrhea, and the fish oil sped intestinal repair and recovery. We don’t know if this will work for anyone else, but fish oil certainly has enough health benefits to be worth a try.
