I do too, in the same manner as atlgirl. It has to be ground. Your body won't digest and get any goodness from the seeds in whole form. They provide fibre for sure and I am not positive of the other benefits. Is anyone else well versed in this?

"Current nutrition research continues to identify various substances in foods that appear to act as protectors against chronic illnesses like cardiovascular disease and cancer. Flaxseed, a popular food ingredient in Europe and Canada, is no exception. The reasons are many:

• Several studies confirm that flaxseed can be a cholesterol-lowering agent like oat bran, fruit pectin and other food ingredients that contain soluble fibre. By packaging both omega-3 fatty acids and soluble fibre together, flaxseed presents two ingredients that favour healthy blood lipid patterns.

• Flaxseed contains healthy amounts of both soluble and insoluble fibre. Scientists at the American National Cancer Institute singled out flaxseed as one of six foods that deserved special study. The reason: flaxseed shows potential cancer-fighting ability. Flaxseed is one of the richest sources of lignans, a type of phytoestrogen which may protect against cancer, particularly hormone-sensitive cancers such as those of the breast and prostate."

I take flaxseed oil capsules.  My doctor reccomended that I take flaxseed for the first two weeks of my cycle and evening primrose for the second two weeks to control my pms and I find it really works.  So, in addition to it's other benefits it helps with pms too.

What kind of PMS symptoms does this help with?
