flaxseed and stalls

[misssari]

I have been having occasional stomach cramping in my upper abdominal area. I'm very sure it is the diet or the lack of fiber in my diet. I have just started daily doses of flaxseed 4 days ago. Can flaxseed cause stall though? Thats my concern because somewhere I think I've read that, however, I see many people mentioning their daily flaxseed......Thanks

As long as you are adding only a tablespoon or two of ground flax seeds to cure constipation it should not be a problem. However do make sure you increase your water intake if you are adding any fibre supplements,
