Avatar f tn Try flaxseed meal. There is a brand called Bob's Red Mill that is already ground. If you live in an area that has a Trader Joe's store, that's a great place to get it. They sell the product cheaper than anyone else I know of. Other places will have it, too. I have seen it at grocery store chains in my own area. You can also find it at natural food stores or co-ops. I would try Trader Joes first, though. The beauty of flaxseed meal is that it is an actual food fiber.
Avatar n tn When my wife was preparing for an operation, her lab work showed her liver counts to be very high, near 200. The Dr. said, many things eaten could raise these levels. They wanted to know if she had eaten cereal with flaxseed and said flaxseed could have a large effect. I mention this so you'll know if it happens to you.
Avatar n tn To be effective, omega oil supplements usually have to be taken in distilled form (meaning gelcaps, not flaxseed). They are absorbed better if taken with a fatty meal.
Avatar m tn m sure you and your mother will see some improvement in your IBS symptoms by using flaxseed meal instead of psyllium fiber. Psyllium fiber is known to be harsh and irritating to the gut. Whereas flaxseed meal is soothing and calming to the gut. I add it directly to my food. I find that it has a pleasant nutty kind of flavor, which is great, since I do miss the taste of nuts, since I've developed nut allergies.
Avatar f tn A couple of members have mentioned using activated charcoal for the really bad gas. Most gastro doctors tell people to use psyllium fiber, like Metamucil. I have had to use other fibers, like flaxseed meal. It's true that you need to build up slowly how much fiber you use, especially when your system is obviously sensitive already. Like sparkle40, I can't use the wheat bran either. My gastro doctor mentioned Metamucil and the like to me.
Avatar f tn I hope so as went for a meal the other day and my friend said he had put wine and port in the lasagne, me and my boyfriend were worried but was to late as I had already eaten it!
Avatar f tn I will be 37 weeks tomorrow and I never feel like cooking. Anyone have any quick meal ideas? By the way, I have a 4 year old and 8 year old. I do have a husband but he is not a good cook.
Avatar f tn I do alright using flaxseed meal rather than the psyllium based fibers that you mentioned. I can use just a little in water, like the fiber drinks, or just sprinkle a little on my food. It's an actual food product and it has nutritional benefits, like omega 3. I buy the Bob's Red Mill that is available at Trader Joe's, because it's more affordable. It's already ground flaxseed meal. I haven't heard of the Heather's Tummy Fibers, so I'll have to look for that.
Avatar f tn I can relate to some of this, because I have the same kind of IBS that you do. I don't know if I have FMS (I have the symptoms to indicate the strong possibility), but I do have CFS and MCS, so I can relate. We have a special problem, since we have many food sensitivities and allergies. I am sure you are already aware of the gluten intolerance and lactose intolerance issues, since they go with the territory. I was hospitalized with renal failure not too long ago myself.
Avatar m tn There is a gentler fiber that I have found to be less irritating to the gut. This is flaxseed meal. I read of a woman who said that she used it much like one uses Metamucil and drinks it down first thing in the morning and last thing at night and has done so for years. Taking psyllium fiber (the main ingredient in Metamucil) wasn't helpful for her bowel troubles, but the flaxseed meal was. I find it helpful for me, too, but I simply add it directly to whatever I'm eating.
Avatar f tn I currently take a calcium supplement, magnesium, potassium and biotin. I am a 49yr old female so I feel I need those for the bones, teeth plus I live in the san joaquin valley in california and currently its in the 100's so need the potassium. the biotin is for my hair and scalp. I was taking a liquid multi but I always forget to take it because it sits in the fridge and not with the rest of my pills. I difenitely (cant spell) rely on various sources. and will look at all sites.
7128540 tn?1399083912 I know how u feel I was like that my first trimester and the beginning of my second I didn't cook for 3 or 4 months my bf was mad lol and I always ate out or got my mom to cook for me at her house anyway lol now I'm always cooking. It'll pass.
1282285 tn?1271424395 To God be the glory! There is medicine that can help with arthritis pain. I take prescribed ibuprofen myself for my jaw arthritis. However, anything, like celebrex I've read is even worse, can affect your stomach that is in that NSAID category. I think I remember maybe it was relafen they said wasn't as bad for the stomach but I think that drug gave me a headache.
Avatar m tn Vitamin D liquid (have taken it in the past but had forgotten to take it daily), B12 (probably took too much, as I took 2,000mcg once for 4 days in a row, started eating 1 tablespoon of flaxseed meal in the morning (used to eat this all the time)...I also started seeing a PT for my plantar fasciitis. I stopped taking my probiotics yesterday because I thought maybe they were contributing to the problem? Who knows. Yesterday, I also began eating cultured coconut yogurt again.
Avatar f tn My recomendation would be yes calories in should be less than calorie output. Eat more fruits and vegetables because they fill you up by consuming much less quatanties of food. Make sure you eat sufficient protein also 12-20% of your daily intake. With cooking be sure to eat Unsaturated fats which include Olive oil, canola oil, peanut oil, safflower, soybean, sunflower, corn oil, or flaxseed oil. When using a butter spread avoid butter and all other hydrogenated/Saturated fats.
Avatar f tn Does anyone know if Flax oil is contraindicated while treating Hep. C? Seems like an odd question, but I seem to remember scanning some info. awhile back regarding this question. I am interested in using it for another medical issue, but don't want to do anything that may hurt the effectiveness of the drugs bashing my virus.
Avatar n tn 2 pieces of bread: 35 grams of carbs glassof juice : 40 grams Apple: 25 grams 1 cup of pasta: 40 grams I tried low carb and it works. I have weight trained for 10 years and know how to manipulate my fat percentage and it is all about when and how much carbs I am playing around with www.bodybuilding.com is a great site to find out about macronutients I am not saying that pasta, rice, breads are unhealthy, but we tend to take 3 cups of pasta instead of 1 cup. The same with rice ect ect.
Avatar f tn The dark chocolate is a good source of magnesium. I take flaxseed oil capsules 1000 mg twice a day. I don't take it with the evening meal, however, or it gives me dreams. I know yams are something my mom used to fix us for pms/period symptoms. Pumpkin seeds I was told is a good source of those omega 3 fatty acids, which is good for inflammation and mood.
Avatar m tn As far as asking what you can use in place of oil, (for baking) sometimes you can use applesauce. It works well in cakes and brownies. Also, using prune puree in brownies will make them turn out real moist and you won't taste the prunes, no lie!
Avatar n tn After cooking, I stir in 2 tablespoons of ground flaxseed meal, one teaspoon of maple syrup and one teaspoon of peanut butter. Delicious! JoAnne My allergies are off the chart so healthy meals are hard. No fruit other than citrus, blueberries and blackberries, no tree nuts, no shellfish, no soy . . . It is difficult. Breakfast usually is organic yogurt, I put steel cut oats on the night before so they are somewhat chewy. At times I put blueberries or blackberries in too.
