Creme of flaxseed. (creme of wheat)

[Mirya]

I have never used flaxseed ofr anythign until today. I went to get some probitics wich I have started taking already and had my first dose of ground flaxseed. MMMMMMMMMMM Anyway.... so here I go... The directions say to take 2-3 TBSP a day so ...it already ha a nice nutty flavr to it tought well maybe this would be good with creme and splenda....

2 TBSP ground flaxseed
2TBSP creme
1 TBSP water
1 packet of splenda
1 small pat of butter

1) Mix the flaxseed, and splenda together to get it together really well
2) add the creme and water adstir until all is moist.
3) put in microwave for 30 econds
4) add pat of butter.

OMG this is the BEST FREAKING FIBER dosageI have ever taken. It was good, would work well for a breakfast side and what can I say, again IT IS JUST GOOD. Really reminded me of creme of wheat but it was actually better.

Where do you get Flaxseed from? and does it help with being "bound" up LOL sorry.. I have to ask....

Re: Creme of flaxseed. (creme of wheat)

I eat something similar to the above recipe, except I cook it with butter mixed in and then chill it, and add cream.

Yes, it will unbind you, thoroughly!

Buy whole seeds is best, from health food store or even regular grocery. Bob's Red Mill is a common brand. We have it in regular stores, not too far from oatmeal, etc. Grind in a 10 dollar coffee grinder. You can buy it already ground, but make sure to freeze it, it is a fresh, whole product and the oil in the flax will make it go rancid.

Here is the site and a pic so you can see what you are looking for.

I just got some from walmart today. Make sure it's already ground and it says to store in the fridge.

Oh I can't wait to try this! I really miss Cream of Wheat and maltomeal. And wow does the flax really help your system work! I have been eating muffin in a minute everyother day and feel so much better this week. Before atkins I was used to 2-3 movements per day and before I added the flax in I was barely having one/day. thanks for the awesome sounding recipee

Re: Creme of flaxseed. (creme of wheat)

I am eating Flaxseed once a day and WISHED I could go daily! I havent really gone much in days... like three....
I stay away from cheese mostly and drink my water, I dont know whats up. I did try this recipe though and it was good. I cooked it a bit to long the first time.

Re: Creme of flaxseed. (creme of wheat)

You might want to try adding some over the counter colace tabs 1-2 per day for a couple days. They help your colon to absorb more water which helps to push the flax through your system more quickly. the generic name is docusate sodium. your pharmacist can help you find them... they work for me. i take 1 everynight before I go to bed... I did this even before atkins.

Re: Creme of flaxseed. (creme of wheat)

Flax doesnt help me go either, maybe i will try the docusate sodium. The flaxmeal "cream of wheat" is yummy. I make mine with more water and i dont use cream. I use about 1 tbsp flax and enough butter and water to make close to a cup (i dont like it gooey) and then i add splenda and cinnamon. I could eat that everyday and be happy.

Re: Creme of flaxseed. (creme of wheat)

What is the carb count for this flaxseed recipe? It was really good. I bought some flaxseed a while ago and I have been scared to try it, not any more. How often should I use flaxseed anyway?

You can buy it already ground, but make sure to freeze it, it is a fresh, whole product and the oil in the flax will make it go rancid.

Thanks for telling us to freeze the flax! I bought some a couple of weeks ago for a couple of recipes. It has been in my pantry and as soon as I read this, I put it in the freezer.

This recipe sounds great! I used to love cream of wheat as a kid and will definately try this one!

2 TBSP ground flaxseed

For induction you are allowed 1 Tbsp of flaxseed per day.

For daily fiber supplementation
Chapter 8: "I recommend that you take one tablespoon of psyllium husks daily. Be sure to select a sugar-free product. You can also take one tablespoon of coarse wheat bran or flaxseed meal."

what type of probitics are you using?

[momtomany1]

Re: Creme of flaxseed. (creme of wheat)

Actually Imagood is correct, unless you are constipated. If you are, you are allowed 1 or more TBSP a day. I believe it is in induction rule 12.

12.If you are constipated, mix a tablespoon or more of psyllium husks in a cup or more of water and drink daily. Or mix ground flaxseed into a shake or sprinkle wheat bran on a salad or vegetables.
