Guest guest Posted August 6, 2005 Report Share Posted August 6, 2005 Try flaxseed instead of the oil. Lots of folks can't consume quantities of plain oils, even with foods. Add flaxseed that you grind in a coffee mill in whatever you are eating. Is milk of magnesia o.k. for vegans? If so, try some of that first, it coats the stomach and stops the quezzy feeling. Or take some ginger or peppermint tea. Lynda - Anna Blaine Friday, August 05, 2005 9:14 PM flaxseed oil/nausea Hi all, After years of unsuccessfully treating my mental illness through conventional Western medicine I have decided to try another approach. Among, other things, I bought a bottle of flaxseed oil and have been taking it as prescribed by a naturopath, but have been having trouble with it. I either throw it up immediately after taking it, or if I manage to keep it down, I'm nauseous for about a half hour afterwards. I'm not sure why - it doesn't taste THAT bad. I took it immediately before doing my yoga this morning and had to eliminate my inverted poses because I thought I was going to vomit again. I've tried taking it on an emtpy stomach and I've tried it with food, but the same always results. Any ideas? Love, Anna Anna Blaine anna333 Why Wait? Move to EarthLink.

Guest guest Posted August 6, 2005 Report Share Posted August 6, 2005 If I have oil I take it half and half with olive oil. In the UK you can get vegan mixed essential fatty acid capsules which contain flax seed oil. Maybe something like that would work better.

Guest guest Posted August 6, 2005 Report Share Posted August 6, 2005 The only flaxseed oil capsules I've been able to find were made with gelatin. I'll guess I'll try an on-line search. I've seen vegan omega 3 supplements at the Pangea site - maybe I'll give those a try. And I have tried flaxseed waffles. They were yummy. Thanks!

Guest guest Posted August 7, 2005 Report Share Posted August 7, 2005 Then try and get the hemp seed oil. If taking either of these oils for long periods of time, people recommend no more than about a teaspoonful of flax seed oil per day, but you can have more hemp seed oil - around 1 tablespoon will give you about the same amount of Omega 3s but because the oil is better balanced with other types of fatty acids you can have a little more. The taste is also MUCH nicer and it's a more stable oil - though it's still a good idea to keep it in the fridge. I don't know where you live, but most health food shops here in the UK stock it.
