JAV

I PUT A TABLESPOON OF FLAX IN DINNER THE OTHER NITE; HUBBY DIDN'T NO WHAT HIT HIM; CAN'T TASTE IT AND IT IS GUD 4 U.

I'M KEEPIN' A FOOD JOURNAL NOW TO C WHAT MAKES ME TURN INTO JELLO-GIRL; SO FAR I THINK IT'S GLUTEN AND WHEAT. NEXT WEEK I'LL TAKE IT TO MY CHIRO. AND C WHAT HE HAS TO SAY.

I ALSO FIND THAT HOT GREEN TEA TURNS ME INTO JELLO-GIRL BUT COLD GREEN TEA DOESN'T-WHO KNEW? I DON'T GET THAT ONE-MAYBE I'M SENSITIVE TO HOT FOOD..... ANY THOTS?

Yes, I would imagine (Hodson's) Milled Flax Seeds can be kept in the freezer and then microwaved for a few seconds. But I always keep it refrigerated for freshness.

I would thinks so, and microwaved for a few seconds when ready to use. I always keep flax seed refrigerated for freshness.

I just read something that was posted by Dr. Orange which was about constipation & your meds that I thought was really interesting. I did not know that anti-inflammatory drugs caused constipation. Hmmm, so THAT's my problem, makes sense!

She also says that the standard flax seed and metamucel does not help, which I have lately found to be valid.

Take a look at the article if you can. I am just curious what your experiences are on this subject.

I use flaxMEAL (if you take the seeds that are not ground up your body can not process the nutrients and your literally flushing your money down the toilet) in muffins with chia seed (does not have to be ground for you to use the nutrients in them.

Best Wishes

Flaxmeal has Omega 3s, proteins, etc so good for you.

I use the flaxmeal every day, two tablespoons but they are not doing the trick :(

i dont know what to say...it flushes me out everytime...
maybe something else your taken medicine wise is blocking you.

THEY'RE MENNA BE GOOD FOR OMEGA 3 SO I READ. I HAD A LOOK IN ONE SUPERMARKET I WAS IN RECENTLY BUT COULDN'T SEE FOR LOOKING LOL.

MARG.... HAVE YOU CONSIDERED TRYING A DIFFERENT BRAND? I USE HODSON'S MILLED FLAX SEEDS. IT'S THE GROUND TYPE, LOOKS LIKE BROWN SUGAR BUT LOOSE AND NOT STICKY. I FIND IT TO BE EFFECTIVE, BUT MAYBE IT WORKS DIFFERENTLY FOR DIFFERENT PEOPLE. I SUSPECT YOUR MEDS MAYS BE THE CULPRIT.

So glad I found this group! I am actually thankful for this topic. I went tonight and bought some for the first time. Have no clue at all; except it is good for you. I bought the milled flax seeds and I am going to start using it daily in my foods.

THE FOLLOWING WAS FOUND ON A NUTRITION WEBSITE:

It may be tiny, but itâ??s mighty: The flax seed carries one of the biggest nutrient payloads on the planet. And while itâ??s not technically a grain, it has a similar vitamin and mineral profile to grains, while the amount of fiber, antioxidants, and Omega-3 fatty acids in flax leaves grains in the dust. Additionally, flax seed is very low in carbohydrates, making it ideal for people who limit their intake of starches and sugars. And its combination of healthy fat and high fiber content make it a great food for weight loss and maintenance -- many dieters have found that flax seed has been a key to keeping them feeling satisfied.
