Fishy burps are eructations with a fish-like odor or taste, usually resulting from fish oil supplement consumption. While harmless, they can be unpleasant.
Fishy burps are characterized by eructations (burps) that have a distinct odor and/or taste reminiscent of fish. This side effect is often associated with the consumption of fish oil supplements or other products rich in omega-3 fatty acids. The burps occur due to the reflux of gastric contents containing these oils, which then release their characteristic fishy smell. While generally harmless, fishy burps can be unpleasant and embarrassing for those experiencing them. The severity of the taste and odor can vary. The effect is due to the oxidation of the omega-3 fatty acids.
