In reply to constipation ..., posted by willow on April 21, 2001, at 21:12:19
Willow, you might try 1/4 cup of flax seed each day. Not only is it good for constipation, but it also the same omega fatty acid that is being used in trials to see if it has a positive effect on depression (as the early evidence is pointing to) and is supposed to be good brain food. I crush the seeds in a little electric coffee grinder and eat them with peanut butter, or with cereal. They actually have a nice nutty flavour.
