Actually, I do already take flax seed powder in my morning cereal for added fiber. Not sure yet if it is helping or hurting as I am still constipated and having gas as usual.
I was referring to switching the Omega fish oil caplets to just plain Flax oil tablets. I thought (from Retrograde's reply) that maybe it is the fish oil specifically that is causing me problems and not just the oil.
Have you ever tried just plain Flax oil tablets? Or have you given up on these types of supplements altogether?
I've seen that cereal in stores. It's marketed as a Natural Laxative cereal. All that fiber, I assume, because there is nothing "bad" in it. I would think this cereal is totally IF and a bit too harsh for our tummies, especially first thing in the morning. Totally against the principles of Heather's diet approach. But, you gotta do what you gotta do to go sometimes. C totally stinks...and hurts like heck! Sometimes I think I'd take just about anything to get some stuff out of me!
So, Pulse, what are you currently taking to help your C?
I am also on Klonopin and my doctor swears that it isn't causing worse constipation. I don't know about that! I want to try Prozac too. The next time I see my doctor I am going to ask him about it. I was on it years ago but had to quit because it gave me D (back when I was chronic D ) but now that side effect would be a welcomed change. I don't think I would have D, but maybe lessen the C at least.
