flax seed powder--thanks everyone & one more question

[Guest guest]

Thanks to everyone who commented on my ground flax

seed question. I have never ground any flax seed yet,

but need to start. I did buy a coffee grinder and

also have a Vitamix, so either way, I can do it. I

have had some seeds in my fridge (unground) for a

couple of years. Do they stay good indefinitely or do

I need to buy more?

One more question--I have seen cookie recipes using

flax seeds (probably ground). Since you have to bake

the cookies, wouldn't this cause the oil in the seeds

to go bad? I have heard people say that even the

process of encapsulating the oil might make it bad.

Any ideas on the cookie recipe?

Thanks again to you all,

Hurt

PS my daughter sees a GI dr today to give us his idea

of the situation. I don't trust conventional drs.

I am praying that he will run another test showing

that the stone is gone...and God will get the credit.
