Dear Bobby,

The brand I use is "Calm" -- pictured below. I think the dosing on the container calls for two rounded teaspoons for 350 mgs. I take two teaspoons for a little less than 350 mgs.

I would recommend some oil in addition to ground flax seed.
I happen to not like the taste of flax seed. Hubby puts it on top of his salad. I don't take it very often. When I do, I sometimes simply eat a huge table spoon without anything else. Sometimes I mix the tablespoon with a half cup of water and drink it.

Perhaps you need more fiber:

The AI for fiber is 14 g per 1,000 calories, or 25 g per day for women and 38 g per day for men. Most Americans greatly underconsume dietary fiber, and usual intake averages only 15 g per day.

One fourth cup of celery is only 2 grams of fiber. The government suggests we eat 25 grams of fiber a day.
