Q: I am perplexed. I suffer from sarcoidosis in my lungs and joints. I am currently being treated with low-dose Prednisone (7mg) daily. I am going to try to come off the meds but need to start on omega-3 only. Most supplements upset my stomach or make me itch. I have been reading your Zone Diet book and want to start very slowly. What supplement can I start with?

Dear Bonnie,
I would start with OmegaRx. Most fish oil supplements are of a very poor quality. Start with five grams per day, which would be 8 capsules or 2 teaspoons of liquid. I would also use the OmegaRx and the prednisone together for the first 30 days, and then slowly reduce the levels of the prednisone with your physician’s advice.
