Re: First Attempt at Flax Seed Oil

June 16, 2003

Hi Barb, I suppose it is possible that you could be allergic to flaxseed oil

- or that the oil had gone bad... or that it just didn't agree with you

straight up on an empty stomach... If you try it again, I would suggest

that you mix it in with food this time... and maybe start with 1/2 a

tablespoon first. Or try the capsules and see how you do with those?

Hi Barb-

Well that last post explained the gas!

Here's my .02 on flax seed oil:

I have had a hard time digesting beta carotene since I was overdosed on

tapazole (symptoms are dark orange color around eyes and mounth - the darker the

less beta carotene my body is processing). Cod liver oil, salmon oil and regular

food give me orange circles around my eyes. So I tried flax seed oil and the

dark circles dissapeared. Yes, my digestion seemed upset but even with a small

amount regularly showed improvement for my eyes and the discoloring. I used

the capsules.

Note- from liver pannels dating back to the overdose- using INFLAMX made the

most improvement in my liver ATL phos levels but didn't completely get rid of

the discoloring. It's expensive stuff (at $50 per 10 days) and the diet that

goes with it is difficult if you don't usually eat like that. My next " liver

cleanse " will be a compination of the Inflam-X, diet and flax seed oil.

DiaX in August '02

Overdosed on tap in Oct. '02

Spent 8 weeks healing.

Started tap on the suggestion of a group member in Jan. '03

Been on 10mgs tap for 6 months.

Been feeling great ever since!

Finally found a real endo in MN and he's willing to work with me on tap.
