Tiramisu Posted January 7, 2013 Share Posted January 7, 2013 I didn't feel great when I took flaxseed oil but I never took it reguarly enough to tell. Perhaps I was avoiding it at some level, since I always regularly take my other omega 3's. Dd developed hives after taking flaxseed oil, and she is not prone to allergic reactions.

thescrappyhomeschooler Posted January 7, 2013 Share Posted January 7, 2013 I don't know. I put flaxseed oil on my salads, and I've never experienced dizziness. But, maybe you're allergic to it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tullia Posted January 7, 2013 Share Posted January 7, 2013 I'm no expert, but we use flax meal and oil in small amounts. I have heard that it's a good idea to increase amounts slowly if flax is new to your diet. It could also be a sensitivity issue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thescrappyhomeschooler Posted January 8, 2013 Share Posted January 8, 2013 Well, I figure there is only one way to find out. I decided to stop the shake for a week and see what happens. I really need a good protein shake /bar to get going in the morning, but can't seem to find one that is soy-free. :( Why don't you make your own mix? You can buy rice protein or whey protein powder and add it to your own combo of ingredients. Here's a site with some recipes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
datgh Posted January 9, 2013 Share Posted January 9, 2013 Maybe it is not the flaxseed but your inner ear being out of whack that is causing the dizziness. Often at this time of the year I don't realize that I am a bit congested and it backs right up into my ears and the vertigo sets in which in turn sets off anxiety. Just a thought. Flaxseed and I don't get along. It usually gives me heartburn. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
