Flax seed oil is supposed to help with my Graves Disease. Something about the eye part. Have you ever seen someone with bulging eyes? They might've had Graves. I think 50% of people with Graves get the eye problems. So I gave up on the oil b/c it was so perishable and expensive. I bought organic seeds and grind them in a coffee grinder right before I eat them. Usually put them in a smoothie or in my oatmeal. Am I doing this right? I want to be sure that I'm getting the health benefits.

I think so. We do this too.

I think so. We do this too. We store our flax seeds in the fridge and then grind a bit for smoothies, etc. I think the key is to only grind as much as you will immediately use and not to cook it (unless you just want it as a fiber boost instead of for all the beneficial oils).
