You can get them at any health food store, or bulk food store. I'm not sure if the reg. grocery would have them, but you can check. These are in my Kashi Go Lean Almond Crunch, and the only warning I'll give is that they can get stuck in your teeth... Still, high in Omega 3's I think and very good for you...

Well, isn't THIS timely! I had my own search in the grocery store for Flax Seed. In my store, I found the oil form (in the vegetable & salad oil section) and they also had a ground powder-like form in a small bag, near the flours & coating mixes, baking section. I bought the powder because I want to put it in my oatmeal in the morning. (which I forgot to do this morning, arrghhh.)

Hi Margie ... I've been using Milled Flax Seed for a while now, almost daily. I use it in my oatmeal,
(2 TBS and without any after taste) but it can be added to just about anything. Most supermarkets carry it in the baking aisle. One of my doctors told me about it and gave it a very high recommendation. It's highly nutritious ... and addictive. Lynne

Flax seed will become rancid once milled if not kept refrigerated. If you eat them by the spoonful, you need to grind them between your teeth. Either way, keep refrigerated.

Probably ok, but I'm not sure if they would be affected.

Wow, Jeannie, I am SO glad you mentioned that! I have it in my cupboards right now, so will move it tonight! (I hide it in my oatmeal, wow, grinding in my teeth, not good, too much expensive dental work).

They are soft to chew. You just have to break them open or they will go through whole. Good as a laxative but no omega 3 oil gets out.

I got the ground meal flax, but will remember about the seeds. BTW, I have to say, it works like a charm too, if you ladies know what I mean :)

    Food Allergy?

    My 6mo twin DD's are EBF and just started rice cereal on the first. Everything has been going fine except this morning one of them had a diaper rash (lots of redness around her anus). I read this as one of the signs of an allergy. BUT I did just buy a different brand diaper yesterday (which they have used randomly before w/no issues). Do you think its the cereal or the diaper? Im ready to start...
