Is flax a laxative?
Not a laxative per sey. But flax seed is very good to help with regularity. I used to use ground flax seed all the time in my yougart. its yummy, and it helped to combat constipation.
With laxatives, you might have major explosion from effects, but with flax seed, I never had that feeling...ever.
