magnesium helps with the constipation. Flax seed oil (we don't absorb much oils) is for hair and skin and such it is an omega-3. Eat some green leafy veggies also. Darlene

flax seeds are well known as a laxitive, eat too many and get what is know as "flaxarhea"

try using the whole flax seeds, freshly gorund. It is known for its laxative effects. have not heard the same as far as the oil, but can't say for sure. the seeds should be kept refrigetated and ground as used, you can use a small spice grinder.
