They weren't kept refrigerated at the store when I bought them, does this

mean they are bad?

I keep a small amount on the countertop but keep the bulk cold. Mine are out

on the store shelf before purchase. I think they are fine for short term

there.

Hi Laurie,

That sounds good. Can you get the flax meal from most bulk food or health

stores?

Thanks to everyone for their suggestions,

dept. its called flaxseed mill, or you can use your coffee grinder.

I totally agree about grinding up flax seeds or, for

that matter, any 'seeds'. Eating them 'whole' even

when chewing, etc., can be tough on the digestive

system and ileoceal(sp) valve, recognizing of course

that now and then as a 'scraper' seeds can be useful.

Compliments to and SaraLou.

Hello,

I learned how to make flax seed crackers. I use a dehydrator, whirl the flax in my Vita-Mix and dehydrate them at 105 for 2 days. I then eat them as is or break them up in raw soup or as bread crumbs in a salad. Even the kiddies like these.

What are some ways to include Flax seed inthe diet? I've seen breads in the grocery store made with it, but do you add it to juice or energy shakes?Thanks,RhondaSubscription email: mailto:bowel cleanse-subscribe

Pearl - within 48 hours after grinding the flax seed it loses nutrients. I

grind fresh every day. I know you can buy some that are already ground that

you keep in the fridge - just don't know how 'nutrient rich' they are.

Udo's oil is very good - and so is Barleans' Flax oil ... They should have a

date stamp on the side of the box (or bottle) when you buy them so it tells

you how fresh they are. - the oil will last longer than the freshly ground

seed - in the fridge.

The seed is SOOO loaded with nutrients tho - that I wouldn't personally be

without it - as well as what it does for the colon - the oil is great but

will not have the fiber in it ... etc.

Flax Seeds

>>Try some ground flax seeds. I am more regular than I have ever been

since starting the flax. You can buy organic ones in bulk and grind them

in a coffee grinder and drink them in juice or whater, sprinkle them on

yogurt or anything and enjoy. The taste is mild and doensn't inhibit the

flavor of anything else.

Best wishes,

Marti>>

My question is that is the flax seeds that are ground up, is it just as

good to take the omega oils? They have flax in them. I take the Omega

3-6-9 in liquid form...UDOS oil is the brand.

My doctor told me to toss the " already ground " seed I had purchased -

he said it is rancid after 48 hours...even in the refrigerator. I

just bought flax seeds from a site provided to me (relatively

inexpensive too) and bought a grinder (also not too expensive) and

grind every morning 3-4 Tbls.

if you eat the flax seeds whole they will 'pass' in your stool.

If you cook them you will lose alot of the nutrients, though they may be

tasty in a hot cereal.

The best way to get all the nutrients is to freshly grind them daily and EAT

them.... you will never be the same!

Flax Seeds

Just got back from the health food store. I got 1 pound of the organic

flax seeds for $2.19

They are so small, does anyone eat them whole? Is there a purpose to

griding them?

I just spent a small fortune on organic foods.We couldn't go where we

normally go ( too far ) because my dh was driving and had fog head ! My

dh was with me hand he loaded up the cart with fruit !!! We are in the

early stages of the diet and are not supposed to eat any fruit, he knows

this. I get so tired of handling my diet and his.I mentioned this to him

and he hit the ceiling.....I am " a nag " !

I am so tired of the whole thing ! I feel like we are trying to fight

for our lives, and he acts like a child. LIke I am punishing him every

time he can't have something !! Ugh Bad day !

you could always grind them " longer " .... you didn't say whther your grinder

is a coffee grinder? It won't work very well with just a regular food

grinder.

Flax Seeds

Well I finally had the flax seed this morning. I ground them up in my

coffee grinder. I was surprised that they " still " had a crunchiness to

them. Is this alright? Or is my grinder not doing it's job? It looked

like powder?

Flax Seeds

Hi Everyone,

I do not know why I was so dense. I was adding ground flax seeds to

my protein shake hoping it would help with regularity. Finally, some

angel (I can't remember who) posted that they should be whole flax

seeds. What a difference!

Thank you!

Dear ,

What dosage should one start with whole organic flax seeds and when should

it be taken? Regularity is one of my problems, but then, if you saw a list

of all my problems, you might have to take time off to read it!

Hi ,

Flax seeds are an important part of Dr. Budwig's die It is much more than

just cottage cheese and flax seed oil. If you are interested I highly

recommend you get her books. There are two translated into English and they

are not expensive. Barlean's oil company sells them for the cheapest

prices. They also sell the oil at wholesale price to any one with cancer.

Call the 800 number for info. see barleans.com for the number and to order

the books. One explains how and why the diet works and one is a recipe

collection that further explains the make-up of the diet. I think it is

less than $20 for both of them together.

I thought it only fair to also share my thoughts of flax seeds. I had

previously posted a note about my hesitation in using them as in the past I had

used

them quite a bit prior to my diagnosis of breast ca. In reading the book

last night on Budwig, it said that if the seeds are not ground and used fresh,

like within 10 to 15 minutes, they actually have a deterious effect. I had been

grounding the seeds a bag at a time and storing them for several days or

weeks. Just thought I should share. Peace and grace. Donna B

Would freezing them change that?
