I wanted to share something with anyone who is having elimination/bowel problems. It is something that has worked really well for me, I know others who have had colon cancer treatments and ostomy reversed are having trouble like I did for several years, pain, bleeding/ constipation/diarreah, hemmorhoids. A nutritionist mentioned flax seed to me, I have been using it for couple years now, it has helped so much. Fortified ground flax seed. It can be used in cooking, salads, soups, yogart, fruit, I just use a tablespoon in water and drink/chew it every day, it has a pleasant nutty flavor. I use Omeag-Life brand it is fortified, kosher, has Omega 3 and 6 antioxidents. It has also helped with hotflashes and nightsweats, early menopause from surgery. The e-mail on the bag I have is www.fortifiedflax.com PO Box 7 Muskago WI 53150-0007 I know I have had a lot less bowel problems since I started using it. Hope this helps someone.

    Flax Seed
    You are so right. Years ago my mother after suffering chronic bowel issues for a long time, my mother's doctor in Denmark told her to mix up flax seeds in a glass of water and drink them down. When she did it regularly, she had much better bowels. Unfortunately, not knowing that we carried HNPCC, my mother did pass away from undiagnosed colon cancer. She thought it was just her bowels acting up again. But the seeds did work when she could get them and remembered to take them regularly.
