Crush them before you eat them. Or at least chew 'em up real good. The 
whole seeds will not be digested and will pass straight through you. 
This is nature's version of the seed drill. Basically, seeds evolved so 
that animals would eat them, not digest them (At least not all of them,) 
and then plant them somewhere else along with a generous donation of 
fertilizer. In this day and age, however, flax seed is a little 
expensive to just pass, and you don't get the purported benefits of the 
fiber unless it actually dissolves.
