Yesterday I was researching their benefits, trying to find another source of omega 3 that doesn't give me terrible acne. I read an article saying is very possible to eat parasites from these if they have been fished in certain waters. Just thought Id mention it 😄

what exactly is giving you acne ?

Flaxseed meal.. Bad.. My face had been clear for the first time in ages because of a natural hormone cream I'm using. Apparently flaxseed mimics estrogen so maybe to much using both products so I had to drop it even though my reflux and everything else felt better from it

seems like that's how it works sometimes - fixes one thing, messes up something else -

Yep I was so disappointed, I noticed the flax meal was helping with reflux and my IBD. having suffered acne most of my life. I believe Roaccutane caused my IBD, Chances of me getting
Acne as a side affect were high. Though I've used the oil and didn't notice acne. I'd say in combination with the Yam cream it's to much.. Id encourage people to try the flax meal though, if they don't suffer acne.. The oil loses most of its nutrional content.. The flax meal is really good
