Red face How long until flax meal 'takes effect'?

I am trying the cereal for the first time this morning. 1/2 cup of flax meal in there. I just want to plan my day correctly and not be out on the tennis court or something when the effects of the fiber 'hit' if you know what I mean! So, am I looking at an hour or two or 1/2 day or what?

I don't think you can 'plan' it. For example, flax has absolutely no effect on me. However, my parents and my brother spend their day in the bathroom after eating 1-2 tablespoons.

Despite all your good intentions, you're mightily tempted by a food you're not supposed to have. What to do? I'll tell you this: You'd better have a strategy ready!"

I have never timed it.. sorry.. but I am concerned about a whole half cup at one time, the first time. I can't find any references, but if you are not used to getting a lot of fiber, that is a lot of ounces to start off with. You might end up with 'issues' like gas. Generally, the recommended dose is just a couple of ounces!

I use flax in moderation, and stools stay soft and regular.

It depends on how sensitive your digestive system is, so perhaps go easy this time around and eat a little bit to see the effects it has on you.

Where does everyone get their flax meal from?

They carry flax seeds in grocery stores, health food stores, and even at the 'day old bakery outlet' around here, and I grind them in a coffee grinder. The high fat content makes the meal spoil quickly, go rancid? so I prefer seeds and store in the freezer.

It has been reported that Gandhi once said, “Wherever flaxseeds become a regular food item among the people, there will be better health.”

I thought you were suppose to start with 1 tablespoon the first day and then up it by tablespoons each day until it works.

I get a pretty good deal of fiber in my diet already so I wasn't super-worried, but I did want to make sure it wasn't like eating 1/2 a jar of Metamucil or something . So far so good. Thank you for all the great advice - I love this place!

I use this brand www.bobsredmill.com . I find it in my grocers in the organic section.
