question about flax oil

Postby Guest » 19 Jul 2007, 10:59

I just had my surgery 6 weeks ago, do I need to check with my CRS before I start taking flax? Where do you buy it? How much should I start out taking? Thanks so much, this forum is wonderful!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

If you are taking any other meds, you might want to run it by your dr (some meds you can't even eat grapefruit if you are taking). Otherwise, flax (and what I take, evening primrose oil) is very healthy and I personally wouldn't bother.

Hey Harmony,
It is never a bad idea to check with your doctor before supplementing but with that said many don't know much about the topic.
What worked the best for me was to take a spoonful in the am and one at night. I really like to add it to a veggie stir fry after it is cooked. It gives a nice flavoring to the dish. I buy most of my supplements at www.swansonvitamins.com. You can get flaxseed oil as well as capsules. I have both for the days I don't get to take the liquid.

Thanks, I am going to order some. I take MOM 3 times a day but I feel like I need to do something else.
