Hi!!!!
I didn't try acadia. It will probably be a next step for me. For now, I don't have problems with the soaked flaxseed (I drink the water). I increase it slowly.
The first time I triied it, I took 2 tbsp of flaxseed before bedtime and it was too much!!!! I had a bit of pain and bloating but no gas. I decreased the dose to 1 tsp 3x per day (before breakfast, lunch and at bedtime). I'm doing it for about 3 days now and I feel fine. I'm still constipated but I know that it can take up to 2 weeks to see a difference with soluble fiber. In a couple of days, I'm going to add another tsp of flaxseed before supper and see how it goes.
When I'll be able to tolerate more flaxseed (my naturopathe suggested a good 4 tbsp per day), I'll see how I feel and I may add a bit of acadia on top of the flaxseed. Also, this way I'll use less acadia since flaxseed is an inexpensive way to add soluble fiber. For now, money is an issue for me...
Hi people from Montreal!!
Here are some health food stores where I shop sometimes:
Chez Tau (on St-Denis)
Rachelle-Béry (5 stores in Montreal)
Both are popular stores. Therefore, sometimes it is more expensive.
Loblaws have a good section too where they sell good products...
I often go to small stores called: À votre santé, on Sherbrooke West near Décarrie. or in Laval on the boul. de la Concorde (source de la santé) Often it is less expensive in smaller stores. Look in the yellow pages to find small stores near where you live. Now, I buy everything I eat in natural health food store. It helped a lot to eat good products. I now shop in 5 different stores (it depends where I am at the moment) and I compare prices...
Have a good day!!!
