   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
