Avatar n tn i just started treatment with telaprevir, and have used flax seed oil for the fat on one dose and will use it again. the problem with flax seed oil is it goes rancid really fast. so if you are going to use it make sure you buy from a very reliable source that refrigerates the oil and check the date. yesterday i bought an 8 ounce bottle of barlean's flax oil that was pressed on 9/15/10 with an expiration of 3/15/11. so make sure it is supper fresh. rancid oil will cause liver damage.
163322 tn?1458676408 Actually, I don't use flax seed oil. I use flax seed meal, mixing it into granola, oatmeal, smoothies, etc. Its great for making corn bread. But I'm not on triple therapy either. And I love coconut anything!
250155 tn?1485295939 For the best quality of Flax & Borage seed oil, Barleans is tops. You can order direct from them and pay a little more than a site that may offer discount pricing, but when you receive the product, the "Pressed" date will only be 2 or 3 days from when you receive it... FRESH!!!!! Here's their site for information: http://www.barleans.com/faqs.

Avatar n tn can I use flax seed oil for eye drops for my dog? We have tried antibiotics, tacrolimus, and all over the counter drops but nothing seems to help, someone suggest flax seed oil but will only try this if I know it will not harm her in any way.
Avatar n tn I did Barlean's flax oil for a while, and it seemed to help. Not all flax oil is created equal, so stick with Barlean's because it's the best and purest--even though it's more expensive. I'm no expert, but I can't see why it would hurt anything whether you're hyper or hypo. It's loaded with good stuff--and helps all sorts of things from the heart to the skin.
Avatar n tn the brand he takes is Health from the Sea PFO pure fish oil liquid. He takes twice the dose of the flax seed oil (same brand name).
Avatar n tn You eye doctor is certainly entitled to their opinion. In my paractice I use fish oil. Please use the search feature and eye topics and archives to read the extensive posts on dry eye treatment.
475555 tn?1469304339 s best source of omega-3 fatty acids, especially ALA, better than fish oil and better than flax seed oil. Could be true...
612551 tn?1450022175 Hi Jerry. There are some benefits of flaxseed, as the oils are similar to fish oils but without the smell. However, there is a higher ratio of omega-6 to omega-3, which isn't too good. It's a complicated process, but effectively dogs find it hard to convert alpha-linolenic acid (ALA) to the more active non-inflammatory omega-3 fatty acids, so although some omega-6 is okay (in fact, some say it's essential), it's the ratio between omega-3 and omega-6 that's important.
Avatar n tn sorry to ask...it may sound dumb, but does it matter if it's hyper or hypo to avoid iodine?
6579347 tn?1388502368 Hi, Paxiled! I've been in PT for 4 weeks now, and haven't seen any improvement. She gave me a steroid shot last Friday - my neck is better, but my low back is still killing me. I left a post on the back/neck forum for advice on that. It was just curious to me that after I started the green tea extract, my mitral valve prolapse started palpitating and my anxiety surfaced a bit. You gave me a lot of good ideas - thank you!
11415829 tn?1426678633 Do you eat a healthy amount of essential fats, such as fish oil or flax seed oil etc.?
Avatar f tn I have tried different brands of fish oil on different occassions as well as my husband. I wished I could take it for the health benefits; but, in our case, it causes digestive upset such as bloating and gas. So, I've replaced fish oil with flax seed oil and we do not experience the gas and bloating we had with fish oil. In my case, I feel much better on flax seed oil, emotionally as well as physically.
2046312 tn?1360379600 Blend flax seed in coffee blender, mix with peanut or almond butter, and eat on an apple with a glass of milk. This was all I could stomach that early.
Avatar f tn This makes flax seeds more susceptible to oxidation, a reaction that destroys the nutritive value of an oil and turns it rancid. This doesn't make the oil toxic, but rancid fats are not what you want in your food or in your body. The key is exposure to air (oxygen), and heat can speed up the process. The intact flaxseed has a protective coat that keeps the oil safe inside. The seed coat is so strong that most intact flaxseeds tend to pass right through our digestive systems.
Avatar f tn No, fish oil needs no refrigeration if it's in gel caps. It's the flax seed oil that needs the refrigeration.
Avatar n tn Also supplement your diet with fish oil, as well as flax or borage seed oil. These natural oils will help to keep your skin hydrated and strengthen collagen. Vitamins improve skin tone include Vitamin C (an anti-oxidant) and Vitamin E (an anti-inflmmatory).

1611670 tn?1306690499 There seems to be way more info out now, than there was years ago. I heard that Riba does better when taken with fats. Flax seed oil capsules good? They have Omega 3. How much fat? Would a small container of whole milk do it? I am grateful to be on Tx and grateful that this forum is here.
