It depends if you have reflux like I do. When I take flax oil capsules, I
burp flax oil for a day and a half. I buy whole flax SEED at the local HFS
and grind it in the blender immediately before use, mixing it in the dogs'
veggie meals. I am planning to try adding it to muffins for myself, to see
if I can get my omega-3s up that way, without reflux.

It's a heck of a note that I have less after effects from canned sardines
than flax oil capsules, even though the sardines are stinky. Of course, five
dogs the size of people pushing close to me, each wanting a "taste" (e.g., a
can or two each) of sardines ~is~ sort of distracting....
