If you are vegan you should take 1-2 tablesppons a day, ground ( see the
first link at the url listed in my sig ).

You will not be able to digest flax seeds unless they are ground. Try
not to cook the seeds.

You need the water because the flax fibers absorb a lot of water. If
you don't drink water with it the flax will suck up fluids in your
digestive track making it more difficult for your system to deal with it.
