So far I have been on three table spoons of flaxseed liquid for a few days, the problems is that I'm having diarrhea. Am I taking too much? That's what my nutritionist recommended.

Why did your Nutritionist recommend 3 tablespoons of Flaxseed.
That's Too much for 1st timers.

Are you also taking Fish Oil in Liquid ?

You should be taking both.
Flaxseed is a good addition to Fish Oil, but it's Not a Replacement................................................. JP
 
The problem with plant sources of omega 3 fatty acids like flaxseed is that they contain the essential fatty acid ALA and not the essential fatty acids EPA and DHA. The body can convert ALA to EPHA and DHA but the conversion rate is very poor.

Fish oil is much superior to flaxseed oil because it contains the essential fatty acids EPA and DHA. I would stop taking the flaxseed oil all together and use fish oil instead. 6-10g of fish oil per day will give you more benefit then 3 tablespoons of flax seed oil, with much less calories.

10g of fish oil = 90 calories
3 tablespoons of flax seed oil = 405 calories

If you want to add flax to your diet, add in flax seeds. You get the benefit of the protein and fibre content of the seeds that way as well. Flaxseed oil also goes rancid very easily. Flax seeds are a much better option. I like to add flax or chia seeds into my oatmeal each morning.
 
you can use the flaxseed oil when you cook in a pan. but no reason to take it the way you are especially if it is upsetting your stomach

Completely agree. If you want to supplement go with fish oil or krill oil.
 
Three table spoons, thats a lot. A teaspoon after a meal should be more than plenty in my opinion, but maybe you have a certain condition, hence the doctor recommended that?
