You can reduce the GI issues with enteric coating fish oi capsules. Also, the quality of fish oil supplement makes a difference sometimes. You will spend more money, but it may be worth it to try a brand like Nordic Naturals or Carlson's.
If you want to save a ton of money on fish oil and maybe solve your GI issues, CostCo has Kirkland brand fish oil capsules with enteric coating. I may also consider Vitamin Shoppe brand. I think they have the enteric coating and while not as cheap as CostCo, they are still a reasonably price brand.
It also might be a good idea to keep your fish oil refrigerated.
Eating plain yogurt, if you can tolerate the taste(I love it for some reason), is the best way to resolve GI issues. A good whey protein is supposed to be good for your stomach as the high levels of glutamine are good for the stomach.
For your joints consider adding black currant oil along with the fish oil. This way you will get the benefits of both Omega 3s and good Omega 6s.
