My doctor gave me a couple cases of Lovaza that I've been taking. Suddenly I started getting stomach pains in the morning and burping up fish. I finally realized that the pills expired in May and June (it's Aug 31st). Is this the cause of my GI upset?

I used to be a rep for Lovaza so I know A LOT about it, but not what happens to expired pills. I keep it in the fridge and even then I know it's rare for eructing and taste perversion. However, back in May, June and even July I didn't have this problem. Suddenly it started with the same batches. I didn't realize my doctor gave me pills that were expiring (Probably to get them off his hands) until today when I looked at my sample bottle. I eat before taking it too.
I would call the company and ask them, maybe they have heard of your problems. They will send a rep. out to exchange the old pills for new ones.
I wish you the best,
Good idea, I forgot about that! Thank you!
I don't have a condition, he put me on it for Omega 3 benefits. Supposedly he tries to get all of his patients on it.
