Q. I have been having constipation problems for over a year. I tried everything, from increasing my activity level to adding more fiber to my diet. I took soluble fiber supplements and Chinese herbal medicine. Nothing really worked.
Then I finally tried flaxseed. I bought ground flaxseed before and it did not work. This time I use whole flaxseed and grind them right before taking 2 tablespoons every day with yogurt.
It works like magic. I am no longer suffering constipation.
A. Ground flaxseed goes rancid quickly, so it makes sense to grind it just before consuming it. Flaxseed is also found in Uncle Sam cereal.
What do you use to grind the whole flaxseed?
Use a coffee/spice grinder (electric) found at most dept stores, Wal-Mart, etc.
Costco sells cold milled golden ground flaxseed... no need to refrigerate and won't go rancid for a year. Great value!
Wal-mart also sells the cold-milled golden ground flaxseed. Works like a charm.
