3. Diarrhea
Diarrhea is one of the most common side effects associated with taking fish oil, and may be especially prevalent while taking high doses. In addition to fish oil, other types of omega-3 supplements, like flaxseed oil, may also cause diarrhea. If you experience diarrhea after taking omega-3 fatty acids, make sure you're taking your supplements with meals and consider decreasing your dosage if symptoms persist.
