Flaxseed Oil

[cristiana 100]

Does anyone here use Flaxseed Oil?  In my search for good oils to help my buzzing nerves I thought I would give some a try.  However, I had some this afternoon and whether it was related to a delayed reaction to glutening a week ago or just because it or something else disagreed with my I now have stomach ache.   Should we seek out gluten-free Flaxseed Oil or can one assume it is?

It should be safe as far as gluten is concerned.  I didn't see anything to indicate otherwise.  I also noticed that it can cause a laxative effect.  That could account for the stomach ache.  Just so you know.  A lot of the reported "good" effects of flaxseed oil are not proven.  

 

Be safe.

Thanks Colleen!  In the UK we use an oil derived from the linseed plant for conditioning cricket bats, our national 'bat and ball' game.  Perhaps it should be better reserved for something along those lines...
