Guest guest Posted November 25, 2004 Report Share Posted November 25, 2004 Hi there , First you make sure you are using a flax only flax oil, and not one that is high in fiber as that has carb in it. Next the most important thing to remember is not heat the flax, you can get fairly ill, it changes the properties when it is heated. I use flax in the morning with her develed egg aprox 18 grams of flax for that meal. I'll use it on her salads with a little balsamic which in figured into the diet too. I'll use it on her fresh mozzerela salads, basically anything which is not cooked. I use the olive oil when I am cooking. You may need to gradually lower the olive oil ratio so he can get used to the taste, it's not as nice as olive oil. I always take advantage of the pinch of herbs allowance, garlic, pinch of salt and pepper. I never really noticed it helped with her bowl movements as she is taking doculace (i think that is how it is spelt) as a stool softner. She would have a horrible time with constipation. I know using less saturated fat has helped, and now that you mention it, she has regular BM's now. Oh one last thing, make sure you are using the organic flax in the black bottle. It should be found in the refrigerated section of the grocery stores, and keep it refrigerated at home, other wise it will go rancid, hence the no cooking with it rule. I wish you much success, I hope he finds seizure freedom soon. We are still searching and fine tuning for Stella. -- Stansfield Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
