I have wondered about flaxseed oil.  Have had increased digestive tract very 
strong irritation lately.  Thought less of the lignans might help. Lignans 
are just the particles of the seed, itself.  Also , am not sure if using a 
weak solution of H202 could be contributing to increased irritation.  Really 
quite pronounced.  Why doesn't flax oil reduce the inflammation as well as 
the epa and DHA.  Also what are the latter two?  Of what do they consist?  
Thanks, Ruth

What is wrong with flaxseed oil? I used to take both flaxseed and evening 
primrose oil, but looking at the primrose, it is mainly omega 6 with a 
little omega 9, so I can see not using that, but flaxseed is mainly omega 3 
with some 6 and 9, according to the label on what I am using.


Reason I'm asking is being allergic to iodine, I can't take fish oil. (Also 
no seafood, no ocean fish, no sea salt or complete mineral supplements, no 
kelp, obviously, etc).  I did purchase some molecularly distilled fish oil, 
as I was told that would not contain iodine, but I've been too scared to 
take it. The consequences of me getting too much iodine are not fun, and 
often require use of cortisone/prednisone to get stopped. Somehow, having 
to use steroids seems to me worse than not getting enough omega 3, 
particularly as I already have some osteoporosis and a lot of osteopenia. 
I'm not sure how to deal with this.

Flaxseed oil contains the precursers to Omega 3 oil and Omega 6 too, I 
guess.
As long as your enzymatic pathway is intact so that the Omega 3 is 
synthesized

from the precursers then you should be OK with it.  If not, then you need to
get the end result (Omega 3) from some other source.  Anybody?  Is there 
another

source for Omega 3?
