Thank you Sis for this information. It makes perfect sense to me.
I'm basing my opinion on personal health experience. As I mentioned before, my thyroid inconsitancies didn't start untill eating flaxmeal. I started eating flaxmeal when I found this site and the recipes it offered here.
I've had hypothyroidism for 18 years and have been successsfull in keeping my levels up and consistant untill adding flax into my diet 2 years ago. My doctor has raised my doseage 3 times in the last two years since eating flaxmeal, to try and get my levels back up again. In the mean time, I have gained 40 pounds back since June "08" because of my thyroid levels. I'm done eating flaxmeal. Stick a fork in me, i'm done!
I used psyllium before and it didn't effect my thyroid so I will switch back to that for my fiber and see how it goes. I'll let you know how it goes. I sure am going to miss my flaxmeal though.
Thank you again.
Sherri
