I have not.

In general, I think we need to keep any recommendations of high-dose supplements in perspective.

That said, if there is any evidence or indications that it may help with mesenteritis, that would be interesting!

@poppy73 , Not sure if it considered high but my GP has me taking 2,400mg (1,500 Omega-3) in an effort to get triglycerides lowered. I was curious if this might additionally have the benefit of reducing inflammation. I have been taking it for maybe 6 months but have no other information regarding it's use for MP.

@poppy73 , I might add that my GP wants me to gradually work up to, I believe, 6 ea. 1,200 mg capsules. Interesting thought. It does cause a little bit of stomach gurgling.

Hmmm that is quite a bit.That kind of dosage cant hurt.Do you notice if it makes a difference in your pain level?

@poppy73 , No I don't yet. And I am not going to be a very good pain gauge for fish oil but there are a lot of potential benefits.

This does make a statement that taking fish oil may be helpful for autoimmune disorder.
As @pcfromfm stated, I would not take it if it was not for my GP's orders.

Hi @poppy73, I just wanted to give you a little bit more feedback on the fish oil. I have been on 2,400 mg since our last post and just had a blood test Tuesday. I have not increased the dosage until I confirm the exact amount with my doctor.

I have not noticed any reduction in joint pain or what little abdominal/flank pain I have, but I have notice an increase in energy. Could be a placebo effect or just getting more sleep but it is there for whatever reason. We'll see what blood test numbers reveal.

Best wishes to you.
