  • Bloating question

    Ok, so, I don't usually do flaxseed too much anymore cause it just seems to bloat me up. But I was cleaning out my freezer the other day and found some flaxseed muffins that I had frozen. So I decided they would go good with my pumpkin soup. What was I thinking That was Saturday around noon. I paid special attention to my water intake during my meal and for the rest of the day. But I immediately started getting a bloated feeling in my stamach. I usually have a bowl movement every moring but haven't had one since I did the flax muffin. Even right now, I feel like I'm on the verge but not quite there. Anyone have any idea on what I can eat or take to get rid of this? I was up 2 pounds this morning.
    Thanks,

    Susan

      Oh, thanks, Silvia. I've never heard of that pill. May have to check in to that. Does it work immediately. I don't generally have this problem so I don't think I'll need to take something every day.
      Thanks again

        You poor thing Susan. I have to be careful with flax too, so I can sympathize.

          Thanks, Jill. I've just been loading myself up with water and this morning I'm doing a long walk so hopefully it'll work itself out before long

              Hey Susan,
              Sorry to hear you aren't feeling 100% I find WARM water helps. I sip a cup of warm to hot water (lemon squeeze optional!). It usually does the trick.....

              GOod luck and feel better soon!

                  how much water do you drink each day? Fortunately I eat a flax cookie each evening and don't have any trouble with it. I also drink at least 150 oz of water each day so I don't have a problem getting rid of the flax.
