Thank you Derek.

Unfortunately I have an intolerance for flax seeds. I am a bit uncertain
about whether it is the same with flax seed oil. I'll look into that
soon. I get loads of fiber/fibre (take your pick) from whole grain
breads and even psyllium husk. I pay a lot of attention to websites like
MayoClinic.com, drweil.com, Linus Pauling Institute -
lpi.oregonstate.edu, etc
