Guest guest Posted September 19, 2007 Report Share Posted September 19, 2007 I need to get more flax oil. I have been using hemp oil. I add either to my salad dressing. Makes the flax oil taste better. I like the taste of hemp oil and its very rich in the omegas too. Sent via BlackBerry from T-Mobile " Jenni Billings " < Wed, 19 Sep 2007 13:13:43 Re: Fish oil substitute that is KOSHER and no shellfish - flax seed oil i agree that the flax oil taste is awful. ALthough I've only tried Spectrum flax oil with DHA. I think it tastes like oil paint.... rancid oil paint. ICK. no way could I " hide' this stuff in a smoothy or anything, so i just take a spoonfull quick and follow it with some water. I add flax meal to my brown rice and love that... as well as sprinkled on pbj or a salad.. I have a great flax cook book I'll have to find the title, thought it may be in our files already. I've been told that there are some tastier flax oils. I only went wiht the DHA this time and with flax oil at all as an added umph to my diet... I've been super healthy, but with all the hooopla of DHA, and being super preggo and vegan.. I figured it wouldn't hurt. next time I'll try plain flax oil (not dha flax) in a flavor like cinnamon or something. =) good luck finding something that suits you. OTher people have told me that other brands have better flavors.

Guest guest Posted September 19, 2007 Report Share Posted September 19, 2007 Flax Seed Oil goes rancid quickly and you must keep it in the refrigerator and use it within a reasonable time. There is usually an expiration date on the bottle, but that is dependent on keeping it refrigerated. I wonder if the one that you had bought, had gone rancid?

Guest guest Posted September 19, 2007 Report Share Posted September 19, 2007 A question about flax oil. I've tried adding it to my protein drink and find it causes almost immediate nausea lasting for almost 1 hour. Anyone else have this?

Guest guest Posted September 19, 2007 Report Share Posted September 19, 2007 I prefer just taking a spoonful of it or a capsule of it and drinking some juice after it. I called Barlean's http://www.barleans.com/literature/flax/88-lower-blood-pressure.html that makes Flax Oil and the lady that answered the phone said they now have lemon flavored and cinnamon flavored Flax Oil. She likes to stir a Tablespoon of the Cinnamon Flax Oil into a bowl of oatmeal and puts a Tablespoon of the Lemon flavored Flax Oil onto an orange that has been sliced up. I'll have to be on the lookout for the flavored ones. I usually just grind up the seeds usually and put over salad or in a smoothie and it doesn't have a noticeable flavor at all. Use a dedicated coffee grinder for things like this. It is good to put with your pet's foods too. It improves their health.

Guest guest Posted September 19, 2007 Report Share Posted September 19, 2007 Hi, > ... and find it causes almost immediate > nausea lasting for almost 1 hour Not me. I take a tablespoon straight, no chaser, in the morning. No problems. Also mine doesn't taste rancid. It is the Whole Foods flax seed oil and I keep it refrigerated. tbsp/day per Dr's orders. Well, I take it back on the no chaser. This morning I had 1) 1/2 slice of toast with Earth Balance and some strawberry jam. 2) 2 hot peppers (hm, maybe chiltepin)* 3) 2 cherry tomatoes* 4) about 1/2 cup of orange juice * fresh from the garden as I walked through and did a little watering. Breakfast of champions, eh? Gary --- Pamela Brehm <revopal wrote: > A question about flax oil.
