Flaxseed Questions

I was wondering what the healthiest, easiest to absorb form of flax is, and how much is recommended to consume daily.

I have been using flaxseed oil, about 3 tablespoons every other day, but this seems like a lot.

I think I'd like to try actual flax seeds, but I'm not sure which for is the healthiest and easiest to digest. I know it's probably best to buy them whole and grind them myself, but I don't have a coffee grinder or pepper/seed grinder.

Is buying flax seeds that are already ground not as healthy as grinding them myself? Does Trader Joe's or other chain stores sell flax that's already ground?

Thank you.

Ground flaxseed is readily available, but needs to be stored in the refrigerator. It is always best to grind it fresh if you can. The nutritionist I went to was really on about rancidity of seeds, oils, nuts, etc.

Thank you. Is it possible to grind it by hand?

A coffee grinder works very well, and you can find cheap ones.

      Finding out I’m coeliac whilst pregnant

      By Beverage · Posted

      Sounds like you are in the UK. With blood numbers that high, I thought docs in UK would give an official diagnosis without the biopsy. You should ask about that, so you can get support faster.  I'd try to find and print out anything that supports that in your country, get another appointment and take all of it with you. Even in the US now, some docs are doing this, my 19 year old step granddaughter got an official diagnosis here in US with just blood results a few months ago.

      Seeking Gluten-Free Advice for My Trip to South Korea!

      By Beverage · Posted

      Is soy sauce in Korea also made from wheat like it usually is in US? I'd be concerned that even if asking about gluten, they would not be aware of or think of some like that.

      Not Sure What to Think

      By trents · Posted

      That's a good idea. It can at least establish the potential for developing celiac disease and can help people decided between a celiac diagnosis and NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity). And it doesn't require a gluten challenge and can be had without a doctor's prescription.

      Anyone had endoscopy with a cold/cough???

      By awright24 · Posted

      I have my endoscopy on Thursday, has anyone had the procedure done with a cough? I don't have a continuous cough, but every now and then throughout the day I have sort of coughing episodes. They are a lot better than they were but I called endoscopy and they said to speak to my gp and my gp got back to me and said I need to ask endoscopy if its ok if I have it done still.  Help!

      Thank you so much, everyone. For the moment my doctor just has me taking iron but hopefully we can reconnect soon. I'm going to look into genetic testing, too. Great advice all around and I appreciate it--and you can bet I'm going off the PPIs!
