I know that flaxseed is good for me and I really like it, but I think I've determined it's the cause of my

ROOM-CLEARING FLATULENCE


Also, I think I'm coming down with a cold.

Well, it's good for you, just not those around you.

Hee hee...

One of the best things about this job sometimes is working alone enough that you can fart freely when you need to, which for me, can be often. Or having a co-worker who's just as gross as you that you can fart in front of. :P

I once scared an animal (either the dik-dik or the muntjac, I think) with a pretty loud fart. I felt bad, but it was funny as hell.

Have you been taking it very long? In my limited experience, even if some new food makes me gassy, it goes away in a week or two.

(I noticed this especially doing charity work in Nicaragua, where I suffered the effects of rice and beans for every meal, but only for the first week.)

Fish oil or omega-3 capsules will give you about the same nutritional benefits as flax, FWIW. I take 4 grams worth of a 3/6/9 blend every day and don't suffer anything from it. The only drawback is a fishy burp once in a while if I don't eat a little something with it.
