Avatar f tn 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.
Avatar f tn He, my surgeon, told me to take Flaxseed oil so I bought the oil instead of the pills. I recommend the pill form. Flaxseed oil taste horrific and it made me feel sick but this morning I had a good BM. Try the pills if you can't take the actual oil. I bought it in Trader Joes (if you have them there) for 7.99 for the oil and 4.99 for the pill form. Oh and I eat Activia yogurt (in the past it helped me be regular) but the oil produced over night.
Avatar f tn Drink prune juice and take some milk of magnesia. Both are great for immediate relief. Up your fiber intake! Also drink lots of water. Normally your supposed to drink 64 oz but when you're pregnant it should be almost double. I have a smoothie every day that includes kale, 2 fruits, flaxseed, and yogurt. That has definitely helped me! Good luck!

Avatar n tn I thought if I mixed it with a fruit smoothy it would be tolerable and I also found a flavored flaxseed oil but that was pretty expensive. I want to try to use the "good" fat for protease inhibitor. This anti-depressant already has me eating like crazy. I start this Friday Yikes!!
Avatar f tn thanks I did take 1 tablesppon of flaxseed oil before leaving to work and didnt plan to eat or take my morning riba till I got to work. While driving to work within 15 min's I felt the effects of the riba from last nite kick in again. Mind you I only had the flax in my system. So fat does play a big part.
Avatar f tn I have a fruit smoothie with flaxseed every day. Flaxseed is high in omega-3 and fiber, which both are great for pregnant women. Also up your water intake. My dr told me that normally drink 64 oz of water, but with pregnant women it should be almost double.
Avatar f tn I made the mistake of running out and not taking it for a week. BAD idea. Had industrial constipation. Mag citrate fixed that and am now back to my norm. Hope you find something that works well for you.
Avatar m tn You really only need to drop your LDL by 20 points, which is not very much. Do a low fat diet, not empty carbs like breads, sugars and pastas. Add fruits and veggies as well. The easiest way is to cut out fast foods so if you indulge in burgers and fries, stop and that alone will bring your number down. Is there a reason why you don't want to take a statin?
Avatar f tn I asked my doctor (RE) about taking 81 mg of baby aspirin to encourage blood flow to the uterus but she said the effects are not proven and therefore she does not use it in her practice. I'd still like to try it, however..particularly because my menses was especially "clotty" this month (sorry tmi!). But I also take flaxseed oil and I want to make sure that taking both of these won't be an issue. I'm on my 4th round of clomid 100 mgs, days 3-7 with progesterone supps.
Avatar n tn 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.

1129232 tn?1360800358 Does anyone know if it's safe to take vitamin C and vitamin E and flaxseed oil when pregnant? I have not even confirmed my pregnancy yet but i take these supplements every day along with my prenatal and i just noticed today that it says consult your physician if pregnant...
Avatar f tn Hi, I take flaxseed oil. I was taking it for the benefits to the heart. Haven't heard about benefits to panic attack sufferers. Would like to learn more though.
Avatar f tn I would listen to your cardiologist or internal medicine doctor if they are very familiar with this situation. Omega 3 fish oil and flaxseed oil can both sometimes increase bleeding in patients taking blood thinners like coumadin (warfarin), apirin, and plavix. In diabetics on glucose lowering drugs there is some evidence that suggest that flaxseed oil may increase fasting blood sugar levels.
Avatar f tn Well I can relate to this! I suffered from constipation early on in my pregnancy and I was prescribed a stool softener and they work. And ever since I've entered my 3rd trimester I've noticed it is making a reappearance. But I would recommend salad! Some type of ruffage...eat some greens...foods that naturally get your insides moving. It's works! At least it does for me! ;-) Good luck!

550622 tn?1247656720 The redness usually goes away, but the dry eye might stay around awhile. I take flaxseed oil everyday which helps as well as staying well hydrated- but eye drops are a way of life. It does get better, my eyes function almost normally but wearing contacts is very hard and my eyes are usually more dry the next day and flying doesn't help matters, so I use more drops during flights.
Avatar f tn To help me get pregnant after my miscarriage I used DIM fish oil flaxseed oil and took prenatals
Avatar m tn ) I tried a Flaxseed oil pill and that was a nightmare. My body didn't like it at all. Made me very ill feeling and stomach cramping just after taking it. Oil doesn't seem to agree with me.
Avatar n tn Why shouldnt omega 3 oil from say flaxseed or hemp oil be put directly into the eyes for dry eyes? I have tried it and now my eyes are blurry is there any danger? Also does honey pose any risk when put in the eys?
Avatar f tn The best way to relieve constipation in pregnancy is milk of magnesia. It is a life savor.
Avatar m tn Some one on this website suggested flaxseed or flaxseed oil to help boost the libido. I tried it and you know IT WORKS . You can buy it at Whole foods or a natural food store. I take the flaxseed oil every day. My first thought was " Are you on hormone replacement therapy?" I know getting the right dose of hormone pills can be tricky. When I'm feeling "off" some where in my body I always check out meds first. I really heard that you feel violated.
