I went to the doc yesterday to my Diabetis doc and to the high risk Ob clinic. the Diabetis Doc wants me to add more protien to my diet to help me to maintain my wieght. Since they have told me to cut my carbs down to help with the blood sugar issue I have lost weight and have not gained it back. Well, anyways flax has protien in it. So, I was gonna add some to my hot cereal in the morning along with powdered milk. I am trying to add protein and fat to food to offset the loss of the carbs. I have read a ton of articles on Flax seed, the grain type, and found that it seems to be okay in normal doses. What are normal doses?? Like the 2 tablespoons suggesed on the box per serving?? or is that too much?? Also the link to estrogen and flaxseed seems to be a question. Soy also has an estrogen effect as well. That seems to have some significance with pregnancy. I kinda wonder if I should stop reading so much stuff. The more I read on stuff the more I wonder what is safe to eat and what is not. Does anyone have a clue what I am talking about with the estrogen like effect of the flax and of the soy? And eaten in normal amounts ..suggested serving amounts if this is even anything to waste brain power on? Is there any sort of a real risk?? I have been drinking soy for months now with no problems......anyone have any work on the flax during pregnancy?
