Hi neighbor! I actually found the ground flax seed in a GNC in Concord Mills Mall :>). I don't often get the chance to go to a real "health" store with all the kids. It came in a vacuum sealed bag, kind of like coffee, it's lasting me a while since I keep it in the fridge. I'd heard about it here for folks with C, and it was listed in the Nutritional Healing book as being good for IBS. It would considered insol fiber, I believe, so I always mix it with sol fiber, and that works well. It also has omega fatty acids that everyone needs more of.

As for probiotics, I'll be honest and say I thought this was a much of hooey for a while but it kept coming up so I decided to give it a try. Probiotics are to replace the good bacteria in your body and fight off yeast. Someone here suggested it to me when I said I had a vaginal yeast infection. It has also been mentioned to help with digestion, specifically C. Then I saw it in that book, too, so I figured, What the hey?? I got that at GNC, too, it's not hurting anything and I'm doing progressively better so who knows, right?

Good luck to you, hope things improve! Your neighbor, :>)
