I don’t know much about coumindin but I doubt it would be a problem…

I have noticed a similar problem as above(Connie, Apr. 3, 2011 ar 8:00AM). It seems to be more of a strong fish-smell to my urine, however. I am certain there is no urinary, etc., infection. I only take 1 fish oil gel tablet /day. Is this ever a side effect?

I’m not sure if I understand correctly your question because you seem to answer it yourself. You said the nature’s bounty fish oil supplements contain anchovies, mackerel and sardines and the heart health one is also made of those minus the mackerel… Personally I have not tried those brands so besides going on amazon and looking I would not really know, I use the Kirkland signature one since I never had fish oil side effects with it.

You might have to verify the quality of the fish oil supplements your take. I never had that specific side effect but I would try another brand of fish oil, particularly a pharmaceutical grade fish oil which is usually the highest quality of fish oil you can find

Since fish contains purines technically yes fish oil could cause problems. However, omega 3 is still very good to combat inflammation so in your case it’s probably best to take fish oil supplements but make sure they are pharmaceutical grade, molecular distilled fish oil supplements which most quality ones should be since they are often refined because they want to remove the heavy metals in the fish. I’m not sure about flax seed but I don’t think it contains purines which is usually what makes gout more severe so I think it would be safe to take flax seed. However as I point out at my page on flax seed oil limitations your body can not convert ALA as effectively as it does the omega 3 from fish oil so it’s probably best to take fish oil supplements which should help reduce the inflammation from gout.
