Common Questions and Answers about Flaxseed diet results
flax-seed
Hi there.
As far as I know, studies about flax seed and cancer are still in their infancy stage. The cancer more frequently associated with this is prostate cancer. I'm quoting this text from the american cancer society website:
http://www.cancer.org/docroot/NWS/content/NWS_1_1x_Flaxseed_Ginseng_Show_Promise_for_Cancer_Patients.
I added 2 tablespoons of ground flaxseed to my diet for the past year. I was very discouraged when I received the results of my lipid panel results. Last year: total chol.=238, trig.=59, HDL=101, LDL=125. This year: total chol.=240, trig.=67, HDL=98, LDL=128. My bad numbers went up and my good number (HDL) went down. Why?
(I am a 60 year old female. I exercise regularly (jog and ballet), I am 5'2" and weigh 92 pounds.
I am 38 years old, I recently tested my Lipid profile the results are LDL 150, HDL 45 etc. it seems that my LDL is high so what should I do to reduce my LDL level without taking medicines.
Also, does anyone know if taking flaxseed oil makes your oestrogen dominant? I take flaxseed oil for omega 3, 6 as I'm scared of fish oil and mercury... but I just read that flaxseed oil has plant oestrogen and has oestrogen-like action, so there is a possible link to estrogen dominance.
Guess only one way to find out..will have to stop taking it and retest.
The Budwig diet is mainly composed of flaxseed oil and cottage cheese with restrictions on eating animal meats, butter and sugars. Some holistic health enthusiasts believe that cancer patients are deficient in essential lipids that cottage cheese mixed with flaxseed can replace. The scientific journal “Deutsche Medizinische Wochenschrift” published a study in 2012 that determined that cancer diets, such as the Budwig, diet do not cure cancer and can have adverse health effects.
Depending on a patient’s particular profile, I suggest either the Dean Ornish heart-reversal diet or the South Beach Diet. If you know anything about heart disease, the Ornish diet is better because it
most effectively cleanses the system of excess fat.The South Beach Diet is usually for those with risk factors but no known heart disease. This diet allows more latitude and can still get a person to the recommended targets.
She has found a diet online called the gall bladder diet and this seems to help her. She is taking flaxseed oil every day. However she is still suffering and losing weight. When it happens, it takes 2 or 3 days to get over the pain and sickness. She has had an ultrasound scan and an endoscopy and these haven't shown up anything alarming. She is awaiting a colonoscopy.

Ooh..you are answering all of my questions today! Thanks!
I think I'm going to do the baby aspirin and probably continue to do the flaxseed but maybe just less of it. My DH and I don't get to eat a lot of fish so I know my diet could use the fatty acids. I had a major surgery this past January and I was told to stop taking fish oil before the surgery because it is a blood thinner. So that's why I was wondering if the flaxseed is a thinner as well!

One study found that a diet high in ALA (from sources other than flaxseed oil) was associated with a reduced risk of heart disease.
However, there were so many other factors involved that it is hard to say what caused what. Sjogren's syndrome is an autoimmune condition in which the immune system destroys moisture-producing glands, such as tear glands and salivary glands. It can occur by itself, or in conjunction with other autoimmune diseases, such as lupus.

Does anyone know if drizzling flaxseed oil onto salad, orange juice and other foods is OK for people with MS? I heard that flaxseed oil is supposed to help patients with MS a lot. It contains Omega 3 fatty acids.
Hi everyone,
I was diagnosed with lupus 1 year ago. At that time, I was prescribed prednisone and plaquenil. Fatigue, joint pain and unexplained fever were reduced after 4 months of taking them though hair loss and dry eyes also began occurring. Now, unluckily, joint pain and tiredness return and make me exhausted. I wonder whether stress and diet cause lupus flares??????
After I eliminated all gluten and dairy from my diet and started using the flaxseed meal as my source of extra fiber, I no longer find the mucous in my stool. I also don't experience as much of the burning that you're talking about. That is caused by either the stool being too hard and difficult to pass or being too soft and liquidy. The hard stool will sometimes cause tiny little fissures and the liquid stool is often acidic.
Is the "flaxseed meal" you speak of come already ground up? I have read that flaxseed does no good unless it's ground up.
Certainly can.
Vitamen D you need 5000 international units (iu) for a 50kgs person per day. I take as liquid drops if I'm not sitting in my underpants in the sun for 20 minutes each day.
Vitamen B 6 & 12. I take a high potentency B complex tablet each day, sorry can't remember the strength.
20mls is equivilent to about 1.5 tablespoons of flaxseed oil per day, or 20 capsules of fish oil that is 1000 milligrams in strenghth.
He ran several tests one of them being a LFT. At that time I was still drinking and results were ALT was 90 (avg. 0-60), AST 53 (avg. 13-38) My Bilirubin and Albumin were both in the average ranges. There was no evidence of a Prothombine mutation. He also ran a Hepatitis test as well that came back negative. He attributed the raised ALT and AST to the drinking and Mono still lingering as he could not feel any inflamtion in my liver. I've completely quit drinking for about 5 weeks now.

Hi everyone. I was wondering if anyone here knows a special diet to help the maddening effects of perimenopause. I'm trying to avoid hormone replacement therapy and I have every symptom listed...My body was thrown into it after I finished chemotherapy for my liver...All of the things the chemo affected are now back to normal except this, and the p-meno is getting worse!
Appreciate your response, thank you, well i have been trying to control my diet for the the last 1 year, been on strict diet ,besides that i do work out 2-3 times a week and swimming twice a week, i pretty much consume around 1500 cal a day nothing more, lots of greens, organic eggs, beans, free range chicken breasts, salads, quinoa, sweet potato, mushrooms, olive oil, flaxseed oil, hemp oil, ghee, 100% grass fed organic butter etc.
I have a healthy diet in my opinion. I eat tons of fresh fruits and vegetables and drink truck-loads of water. I get plenty of exercise. There is no animal products in my diet except for cage free eggs, which I have every morning. I have 4 cups of coffee daily (have been doing this for about 3 months). So for the past week, I have had fecal material that is sticking to the bottom of the toilet bowl after flushing.
1. Patients without documented coronary heart disease should eat a variety of (preferably fatty) fish at least twice a week. Include oils and foods rich in alpha-linolenic acid (flaxseed, canola and soybean oils; flaxseed and walnuts).
2. Patients with documented CHD should consume about 1 g of EPA+DHA per day, preferably from fatty fish. EPA+DHA in capsule form could be considered in consultation with the physician.
