this is what i read, off internet, now this is flax seed oil, not flax seed.
INGREDIENTS
Cold-pressed unrefined organic flaxseed oil, hexane free DHA algal oil (contains soy lecithin), non-genetically engineered natural vitamin E mixed tocopherols and organic rosemary extract (to protect freshness).
I am assuming soy lecithin is soy right?
just typed in google flax seed oil ingredients.
When i go to endo next month going to ask about both of these.
If my thyroid mind remembers i will let you know!!!! LOL
Kim
it does? how do you find these things out...scary. Maybe I should stop.
I use stuff they gave me Systane during day, and genteal at night, but they just don't do the trick, tried restatis, but couldn't hack it, and nutrtionist suggested fish oil.
i sit behind a computer for 8 hours a day and hardly move, so years of that have caught up with me, plus i have graves eye disease which keeps my lids open all night.
thanks for answering, Kim
thanks but checked the flax seed also has soy in it. so going to stay away until i talk to endo and see if what i was taking was enough to induce bleeding gums.
thanks, Kim
I take flaxseed oil for my eyes instead of fish oil.
I havent had problems with dry eyes but sometimes if my levels are 'up', I wake with 'pink yes' but got the all clear from the Opthamologist.
There are others here who have had the dry eye syndrome....maybe ask for a solution.
All the best

Thanks, i did not take it last night and will avoid until i see endo. just trying to get relief for dry eyes. I tried restasis and hated it. couldn't use it, stung to long and had lingering effects.
xo, Kim
Soy stimulates the thyroid (if you have one) as it also contains a lot of salt.
If you have Graves, i would avoid Soy.
A lot have complained about teeth and gum issues with thyroid disorders so think that the bleeding gums is from that and not the soy.
Discontinue the soy asap.
