I bought the flax seed today (unbelievable that I found it in my small town!) and tried it tonight. Interesting. I put it in a smoothie...it wasn't very smooth! I'll get the hang of it. Do the seeds need to be refrigerated or just the oil and ground flax? The store had it in a glass jar on their shelf.

You would be amazed at the list of IBS symptoms beyond C and D. Headaches, backaches, heart palps, fatigue, anxiety, the list goes on. I know ShawnEric (moderator for the Hypno board) did a post on this not to long ago. I think it was from a UNC study. You might do a search or ask him about it. Oh, and welcome to your new IBS family!

Here is the link to the list that ShawnEric had posted. Not sure if this is info you were looking for, but for me it explained a lot about these symptoms that I was having for what I thought was no apparent reason. Hope it helps!

BE sure to refrigerate it. You may need to grind it up first in a coffee mill or food processor. They will not be smooth unless you do. They have a nutty taste as well. Hope this helps you!!

Wow!! I checked Shawneric's list and it's amazing how many of those symptoms I have. I had no idea they were related to IBS. Now I know why I sometimes get that annoying eye twitch... 
Thanks for posting the info. Shawneric!!!
