Flaxseed
For those using flaxseed as extra fiber, do you continue using it forever or just untill your bowel movements are regular?
If you did stop did you stay regular?

once you have a constipation issue during induction you will want to keep the added fiber as part of your Atkins Way Of Eating. When you move to OWL you will be adding back foods that contain more fiber and might not need the extra rule 12 added fiber. Most folk love the ways they can use the flax seed meal as a flour and or thickener and keep it as part of their Atkins.by the book atkinseer

Re: Flaxseed
5 Senna Prompt capsules solves the fiber need for me, added to my daily supplement regimen... At $1 a bottle at the dollar store, and less hassle than trying to disguise flaxseed in my otherwise seedless induction menu.~Susan

Re: Flaxseed
OMG that cookie is fantastic! My kids love them too. I wanted to have one everyday, so now I only have them as an occasional treat. I think im splenda/sugar sensative.

Re: Flaxseed
correction to my prior post - the ingredients are psyllium husks & senna extract. Also, now just do a couple at a time, because 5 gave me cramps.~Susan
