The most common side effects of fish oil supplements are bloating, belching, gas and diarrhea.

A common characteristic of diarrhea, loose stools may have a number of causes. For instance, the passage of loose stools often signals a bacterial infection of the gastrointestinal tract. Digestive issues such as lactose intolerance and gluten intolerance are also common causes of loose stools. In some cases, loose stools can occur as a side effect of antibiotic medications. In addition, loose stools may be caused by excessive consumption of certain substances, such as caffeine, sugar, and alcohol. For instance, high intake of fructose (a sugar found in fruit, honey, and many soft drinks and candies) is often linked to diarrhea. For some individuals, use of herbal remedies (such as senna) or medications (such as antacids containing magnesium hydroxide) may lead to the passage of loose stools.
