I have a question about flax. I bought the flax usa powder, is this the same as the oil when it comes to having a movement? im going on a wk without going to the potty... desperate measures here!

Take a soft laxative okay..It should help in less then 24 hours!

Ever since I started taking flax, I've been much more regular. I take a gel cap at night, if I need a little boost, I put ground flax on different foods like Cereal, salad or in Soups. It has a sort of woody flavor, pretty good.

I tried it, 3 sips and I almost puked... but success, I had a movement!

I did buy the whole flax seeds and would sprinkle it in my salads, yogurt, etc. Was a good tasting addition. Just a tiny bit nutty flavored. Needless to say it cleaned the plumbing. I take flax seed capsules daily.

Mine is powder and causes the liquid to get really thick, my pouch won't take it

I attended a fantastic educational seminar about digestion and the "gut brain" by Dr. Merrily Kuhn. She presented on clean eating, how digestion works, inflammation etc. Highly recommend her seminar, straight-talking New Yorker, no BS, very informative. Dr. Kuhn mentioned the benefits of flaxseed which must be freshly ground and uncooked for the most impact. She soaks hers in a small water glass, about two inches of water and waits for absorption before just chugging it down like a shot. Best medicine for inflammation. I have mine with chia seeds and hemp.
