Pages: 1 Can Flax seed oil capsules cause 'd'? It's not supposed to.       #137534 - 01/12/05 07:45 AM Edit Reply Quote Sara-Sage Reged: 02/04/04 Posts: 5508 Good morning, I did a search on flax seed oil and see that a few of you take it. So I bought some last night as it's SUPER beneficial to the entire body. It's also listed as very helpful for IBS-C and IBS-D. I woke up with 'd' this morning and hadn't had that in a while. I'm trying to figure out of it was the flax seed oil caplets or maybe the cinnamon swirl bread that I ate? Anyone have any trouble with taking flax seed oil capsules? Thanks.

Since flax seed oil is supposed to help d not cause it, it doesn't seem likely to be the problem. But I'd wait a few days then try again. -------------------- Laura Keep it simple!

The first couple of days that I started them, I did have D twice and I NEVER get D. For me it was a welcome change! Now that I have been on them for about a week, along with my magnesium supplements, I am having softer BM's about twice a day. I would say that they "could" cause D, since they are a source of high fiber. A site I was reading on said that some people add it to their horses feed, but they have to be very careful not to add more than a handful because it gives the horses D, so makes sense it could do it to us too... -------------------- Print     Remind Me     Notify Moderator     Re: Can Flax seed oil capsules cause 'd'?

But who knows what's in it as it's a bakery item. I also made a chickpea and veggie couscous thing last night which I posted in the recipe area. I don't think it's that. Who knows? It's like being a detective, huh?
