flaxseed vs fish oil

I have graves and thyroid eye diease and flaxseed oil works better for me than fish oil. I take it everyday and it seems to help, also staying hydrated is really important. And if I am good not drinking helps...but sometimes you just need the wine.

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.

I have very dry skin, which has been worse since I've been having thyroid problems - I had been taking flaxseed oil, but the doctor suggested that I try fish oil instead (3000 mg/ day), as it's more easily absorbed. It made a real difference - for the better :-) You should probably ask your doctor, but if they have no objections, it could be quite helpful.

Loaded with alpha-linolenic acid, an essential fatty acid that helps reduce inflammation, flaxseed has been used for centuries for medicinal and health reasons. Gandhi proclaimed, "Wherever flaxseed becomes a regular food item among the people, there will be better health." The seed itself has terrific nutritional value, very usable protein, tremendous fatty acids, and minerals like magnesium, potassium, and zinc. Additionally, they're a great source of fiber.

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.

Flax seeds, whole, will just pass through your GI tract pretty much undisturbed.A lot has written about flaxseed oil but more has been validated with Fish Oil to really have a positive impact on lipids, heart, inflammation, eyes, GI and joints.I would recommend a prescription type Fish Oil to assure purity and consistency in dosage. Do you really need 8 glasses of water? You're probably swallowing quite a bit of air with that.

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.

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.

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. The difference with Swank and OMS is in the latest research. Either diet will work.

Hello and thanks for this service! Is it more beneficial to take an "omega 3 EPA & DHA fish oil supplement" or an "omega 3, 6 &9 EPA & DHA fish oil supplement"? I'm a bit confused as to which would be of the optimum benefit to purchase. Thanks for your time and expertise!

I thinks it is a good idea to take a multivitiamin, drinks lots of water, take a flaxseed oil and omega 3 fish oil supplement about 1000 mg each at least once a day. TheraTears makes a nutional supplement called TheraTears Nutrition that has a blend of vitamins and flax and fish oil.

I have had chronic dry eye problems ever since I was diagnosed with hypothyroidism and Hashi's way back in 1996. After a lot of trial and error, I found that supplementing with Omega-3's (fish oil or flaxseed oil) keeps it in check. Also, during a severe attack, my optometrist recommended some OTC eye drops called "Systane." He instructed me to use the Systane at least 3 times a day for about a week, and then as needed. (They're cheap - about $9 at Walmart.

Hi I did 5 rounds of clomid up to 150mg without any mature follicles and yes it gave me a thin lining too. I have had a much better response to injectables but you are having a response to clomid so I personally don't think injections would be a good idea either. However you should ask to be switched to femara it's a pill like clomid but does not thin your lining. Try taking some flaxseed oil also as it will help build your lining back up.

My doctor told me to continue the fish oil and retest in 3 months. Have you guys heard fo Flaxseed oil pills? Someone told me to try taken that instead of the fish oil and see if it helps.. What are your thoughts?

Maybe diabetes. I have heard of this as a symptom of it.

s and only certain statin drugs would bring that down. You might throw in a couple grams of fish oil daily that might raise the HDL even higher, but it sounds like you are doing great. Keep in mind, the good cholesterol adds to the total cholesterol count, so a high number in your case makes the total a throw-away issue.

I am nearly 6 Weeks pregnant, just found out and I have been taking vitamins such as Alive for a daily supplement, fish oil, and garlic since before I found out. I am now also taking prenatals, my question is are the other vitamins safe to be taking still while I am pregnant?
