Hi Cindy,

Yes, I'm taking large doses (3,000mg./day) of flax seed oil for my high cholesterol, and have been for about a month now. Can you imagine how much salmon I'd have to eat to get that much omega-3 and omega-6 oil?

You know, your question is a real interesting one, because it makes me stop and think. I've had two attacks since I've been on the capsules, and, while I had the cramps and D, actually the D wasn't nearly as severe as usual. I had an attack yesterday from eating honeydew melon without a soluble fiber first -- duh -- and the cramps began right away, followed by the infamous D -- but only one RUN to the bathroom and the D was over with! That's VERY unusual for me.

So no, I'd have to say the capsules haven't affected me in that way at all; in fact, just the opposite. Now, if it'll just help reduce my triglycerides.....
