Will flaxseed help cope with stomach problems?
Hello, I am a woman and I am 31 years old. I have been struggling with stomach problems. I wonder if for stomach aches and on bowel problems can help flaxseed. My friend drinks a lot of linseed, which – as she says – helps to get rid of unnecessary kilograms. She noticed herself that it makes them eat much less, but I don’t know if that’s why linseed for the stomach is a good idea? Or maybe on the contrary and it should not be used for stomach problems?
Personally the taste of linseed it’s asexual to me, and I don’t like the jelly-like texture at all. Besides, I’ve heard that flaxseed lowers the level of bad cholesterol, so it seems to have a beneficial effect on the stomach. If flaxseed has a beneficial effect on the digestive tract, in what proportions should it be prepared? Can linseed be overdosed and then has a negative effect on our body? Please let me know if linseed on the stomach is a good idea? If not, what are the advantages of linseed in general? Thank you in advance for the information and help. Regards.
