Guest guest Posted March 30, 2004 Report Share Posted March 30, 2004 Laurie There is a bit of a controversy on the list about flax. Seems like a few years ago the majority who tried it had great results. Increased ketones, less seizures, lower cholesterol. Then it seemed like a lot of new ones who tried it got more seizures or gagging, sick kids. So obviously its very individual. Start with a small amount, no more than a few grams per day and work your way up slowly. It can upset the tummy a little if you go too fast, although its not as bad as MCT oil for that. Buy and keep refrigerated, don't use in cooking. We whip ours in with some other oil in the cream with sweetner and flavouring. Some use to make a salad dressing. Some mix in drinks or kids will drink straight ) Good luck Definitely worth a try , 's mom peteymedic1 wrote: > Hello eveyone. Does anyone use flax oil? How much per day and how > often?

Guest guest Posted March 30, 2004 Report Share Posted March 30, 2004 We've used flax for several years. Help bring 's cholesterol down to normal range. No, can't cook with it. It has a nutty taste that some do not like. We mix with his " pudding " with everymeal -- oils, coconut milk, flavoring, art. sweetener -- and freeze. Ketones seem to darken with this oil. It has some essential fatty acids in it -- very, very healthy oil. Highly recommend. Start out slow - maybe 2,3g at every meal (of course figured into your meal). We give about 6g per meal.
