It totally depends whether you are severely deficient in particular nutrient or not, If not then there is no need to take supplements. Root cause of bloating needed to be known whether supplement is causing it or something else.
Next Steps
instead fish oil capsules you can have 4 soaked almonds, 2 walnuts, 1 Tsp flaxseed and 1 Tsp chia seeds these can itself sufficiently meet your RDS for omega 3. For bloating chew fennel seeds 1 Tsp after every meal and have fennel seed water in the morning.
Health Tips
Flaxseed should not exceed more than 1 Tsp in a day.
