In my experience, certain food combinations with fish oil cause
belching/repeating problems. For instance, taking fish oil with milk,
as in milk with breakfast cereal is the worst for me. The Japanese
recommend against eating fish with milk... I would even think that
taking it on a relatively empty stomach might be good. It may take some
experimenting.

I got some fish oil for him but he had a terrible time belching
with it. He had such a bad time with the fish oil it now is given to
the dog--she's doing great. I take the cod liver oil and don't have a
real problem. Will try and get the Ginseng. He told me he wasn't going
to have to eat carbohydrates because of all the calories from gel
capsules he was getting. He's not a good pill taker. He said he's
afraid I'm going to get things out of balance with selective vitamins.
I try to make sure he is getting a balanced diet. He's been very melon
hungry and have had that on hand for snacking.
Thanks,
Dianne

Dianne,
This is a tough call. It's possible that the
surgery itself and or the anesthetic used had some type of debilitating
effect on his nerves and/or muscles and/or brain cells. This should
get better with time... many months would be my guess. Acupuncture
might be of benefit both short and long term as it is a direct
stimulant/relaxant to the nervous system. It also regulates the
production of endorphins and enkephalins, hormones produced by the
pituitary gland that regulate pain thresholds and other things in our
bodies. Giving him notoginseng (Siberian Ginseng) might be of benefit
as it helps increase oxygen uptake by our rbc's. Fish oil and R Lipoic
acid have been shown to stimulate peripheral nerve regeneration and
reduce neural inflammation. Make sure he is on a healthful diet too,
low in sugar and acids.
