Hi Boobielove!!
As far as taking the seeds are concerned, i think it would be best to grind them cos flax is hard to digest and probably the body will not be able to break down the seeds because of the hard skin on the outside. Hence it may not get digested at all and you may not get the desired results.
Having too much of flax...i dont know about other side effects but i think it may result in constipation cos like i said flax is very high in fibre and not easily digestible. And any which ways like it has been said by a number of senior ladies on this board that too much is not always better for NBE..so maybe thats good advice and its always better to start slow and see how your body is responding to it and accordingly increase or decrease.
There is a lot of info on flax out here too but i have not gotten into the details cos it worked for me..i read somewhere that it blocks the estrogen receptors or something like that....frankly i dont understand all that science and really its too confusing (call me dumb or whatever).There is so much info that even negates each other. Like almost all have FSO in their program but then there is that blocking estrogen receptors thing mentioned somewhere which should actually mean that its not so great for NBE. So who knows!!!! Hats off to all the people out here who know so much and actually understand all that!!!!
What i am trying to say is dont go overboard. start slow, observe and make alterations. I observed changes at 3 tsp per day. Hope i dint confuse you !!
