I don't think there is a rule about how much we can use. Its pretty much just fiber.

...Its pretty much just fiber.

Just keep that in mind when you decide "how much is TOO much"!

Well lets just say I felt really gulity having 1 serving of flax meal cookies (1 carb total)... I had another post and someone commented that during induction we can have 2 Tbl. , so basically I choose either to have it as cookies during the day or crackers. They are pretty good

If you eat too much you would need to be aware of its effect on your intestinal tract ...

I typically make the plain version, 1T each of flax meal and water (0 carbs that way), and have it with cheese (So I feel like I'm having cheese and crackers) If I'm careful, I can spread some Laughing Cow soft cheese on them without breaking them!
