Need ways to add flaxseed, without puking!

[GOHVYORGOHME]

So I added flaxseed into my diet today, and it took all I had to keep it down! I put it in my protein shake and gagged about 4 times. Even worse, I'm burping it up now. Flaxseed is up at the top of my list as being one of the nastiest foods I've eaten! I am in serious need of some ideas so eat this stuff without gagging lol. Any ideas would be awesome!

Man, it's not that bad. How much are you taking? What brand? I use "Flora" and mine doesn't taste bad at all, I could just sip right out of the bottle if I needed to. Don't ruin your shake with the stuff.. just put it in a table spoon, put it in your mouth and chase with some water.

The brand I have is called Liquid Gold Flax Oil.
Nutritional Info:
Fat14g
sat:1
polysat:10
monosat:3

contains: 7700mg Alpha-Linolenic acid
2170mg linolenic acid and 2240mg oleic acid

It seems like good stuff but is a yellow color and tastes horrible. I'm not one to gag on foods and have always been able to eat stuff others just can't stomach. I think it could just be the brand.

Get a different bottle/brand. It shouldn't taste like much of anything. Even a little nutty. Certainly not gag-you-nasty. Sounds like you got a rancid batch.

I use ground flax meal which I add to cereal, oatmeal, shakes, etc

I thought I was tough with the food thing until I tried flaxx oil, puaj.
I put it on a table spoon, chug it and hold my breath as long as I can, drinking water meanwhile ...
I don't spoil food putting flaxx on it.

Bump for ideas !!

The taste doesn't bother me so much that I gag or anything. I don't add it to foods either. Just put it on a tablespoon and swallow.

I used to add olive oil to my shakes, but then one day I just couldnt do it anymore. Merely thinking of it right now makes me a little sick.

Try the spoon trick, but I find that water is no good to chase the taste away. I use some other food, yesterday it was meat, and it was fine. The secret is to not breath till you swallow the chaser, or else you´ll feel the taste!

I have tried many different bottles, my mother swears by it (I'm 19 and still go home for the weekends ), but every single one was gag-worthy to me...

It's not the taste, it's the consistency that sets me off, and to think my mother's friend spreads it on her toast like butter........

Anyways, I always use spoons and never mix it with anything. I tried the toast and threw it away.

Yeah, I tried to mix it with some cottage cheese and spit it right back out. I will just go ahead and try to take it then chase it with some food.

[excelin]

hold your nose closed when you take it, and keep it closed for at least 30 seconds after you swallow it.

Okay, I just took a tablespoon straight down the hatch and chased it with a protein shake. It worked much better this way.
