: : : Thanks for the info Judy -- how long have you been symptom free by use of flaxseed oil capsules? I don't have three regular meals a day -- I kind of eat small meals throughout the day (b/c I found this to be easier on my digestion), how many pills do you usually take a day? Thanks a bunch! TK

: : Harry,

: : Have you ever heard of this helping or tried it yourself? Ann S.

: Hi Ann,

: I have taken Flaxseed Oil capsules and others like Evening Primrose Oil for many years.It has been recommended for many years as an aid for stool formation for diarrhea. I have even recommended it on this board for diarrhea along with fiber but have no idea where.I take it as a health supplement and if you take it normally --w/o D--I found it can produce C if you don't take fiber.

: Flaxseed oil is an Essential Fatty Acid(EFA). As you know the body needs fat but it needs it in the proper form and fatty acids are what makes up fats and oils in the body.The reason they are called essensial is they cannot be made in the body and are required for health.All cells in the body need EFAs and are essiential for producing new cells.EFAs do all sorts of things in the body.They are found abundantly in the brain and aid in nerve impluse transmissions and are necessary for brain development and functions.Help heart disease, skin& hair, blood pressure, aids in preventing arthritis, candidasis and other things.It has been documented that flaxseed oil can reduce inflammation, pain and swelling of arthritis and lowers cholestrol.

: There are baically 2 types of EFAs--called omaga-3 and omaga-6.They are found in fish oil, nuts, seeds,some vegatable oils such as primrose, grape seed, borage,soy, sesame oils and should be cold pressed because heat destroys EFAs. Also, heat produces the bad free radicals that damage cells. God Bless---Harry

Harry, how many capsules of the flaxseed oil do you take a day, and what times are best to take them? Also, I read that crack you made about me thinking that you don't believe in regular medicine. Not true! But, out of couriosity, how many different suplements do you take/day? If you were limited (3 or 4), which ones would you say are the basic minimums? God bless you too Harry for taking so much time to help educate us.....thanks.
