Guest guest Posted October 30, 2005 Report Share Posted October 30, 2005 Hi Angel as well as everyone else who responded to this, Angel, in answer to your question about nuts, I only give finely chopped nuts so she does not choke on them. And Amy, thank you for the smoothy recipes. I will just keep trying new things. I'm sure you're all right and that she is just going through that picky toddler stage. I have a question. I've heard of people taking flax oil supplements. What does flax seed do specificly? Is it a vitamin, or protein source? Thanks.

Guest guest Posted October 31, 2005 Report Share Posted October 31, 2005 flax oil is one of the best vegetarian omega sources it has all three omegas in it (omegas are the good fats that are found in fish that help with brain function). It is important to find good vegetarian sources. Omega-3 is found in just a few plant sources - hemp oil, flax oil, seaweed. Omega-6 and Omega-9 are found in more plant foods including lots of nuts/seeds. Its important for people who don't eat fish to get a good vegetarian source of Omega-3.

Guest guest Posted November 1, 2005 Report Share Posted November 1, 2005 So it sounds like I can just add some ground flax to various foods? Am I right?

Guest guest Posted November 1, 2005 Report Share Posted November 1, 2005 people do it different ways. I found some vegan flax waffles at Kroger's and I've started eating a few of those a few times a week. I'm thinking of adding a DHA supplement (pill) as well. I used to take the flax oil by the spoonful and it tastes so nasty. It tastes like how fish smells.. it is so gross. I can't imagine putting it in/on my food though a LOT of people do. I'd rather choke it down and chase it with something like chocolate silk. Again the waffles taste pretty good but they were made with the flax flour or whatever in them.. its not like I just poured some flax oil on regular vegan waffles.

Guest guest Posted November 2, 2005 Report Share Posted November 2, 2005 I agree, it does taste horrible if you take it plain. I used to take it and then take a swig of hot coffee to mask the taste.

Guest guest Posted November 2, 2005 Report Share Posted November 2, 2005 Thanks Renee. I guess anything that tastes like that fishy smell would be disgusting. I guess it needs to be disguised pretty well. This could be a challenge. Ok, so other than a good multi-vitamin, balanced meals with plenty of protein, flax for the omegas, is there anything else that I've been blind about? I haven't gotten much reading done on my vegetarian book yet, so I know there will be information in there about all of this stuff, when I get around to it. I just don't want to be caught off guard around non-veg. who might know a lot about nutrition (like my mother-in-law). Also, does anyone know about what it is in grocery store vitamins that are not cruelty free? I see them on lists from stores that sell lots of other cruelty free items. Thanks, Carrie - Renee Carroll<renecarol25 < > Tuesday, November 01, 2005 1:53 PM Re: feeding 14-month-olds people do it different ways. I found some vegan flax waffles at Kroger's and I've started eating a few of those a few times a week. I'm thinking of adding a DHA supplement (pill) as well. I used to take the flax oil by the spoonful and it tastes so nasty. It tastes like how fish smells.. it is so gross. I can't imagine putting it in/on my food though a LOT of people do. I'd rather choke it down and chase it with something like chocolate silk. Again the waffles taste pretty good but they were made with the flax flour or whatever in them.. its not like I just poured some flax oil on regular vegan waffles.

Guest guest Posted November 2, 2005 Report Share Posted November 2, 2005 I think my main concern about vitamins I have seen in the grocery stores is if they have gelatin.

Guest guest Posted November 3, 2005 Report Share Posted November 3, 2005 You know Rene, you cannot taste the oil in the food. I put flax oil in my banana, strawberry, soy milk smoothy in the morning. I can detect a slight slippery texture and I mean real slight. I also grind up the seeds in my coffee grinder and add it to all sorts of things like cereal, muffins, bread, veggies, beans, you name it.There is another soloution as well, there are blends of the omega 3-6-9 oils sold in the health food stores that have a little jasmine added for scent and taste. I have tried that oil too, and it is rather nice. It is not too expensive either, about $12 a bottle, but remember, i am in Canada and everything is more expensive here. I do not think that the flax flour offers much benefit as it is the oil that offers the protective properties. I hope this helps and that you do not gag too much, haha, Shell--- In , Renee Carroll <renecarol25> wrote: > > people do it different ways.
