If you suffer from digestion problems such as irritable bowel syndrome or diverticular disease, you will find the cure in flaxseed.
Flaxseed is loaded with two types of dietary fiber: soluble and insoluble fiber. One tablespoon of flaxseed contains 3 grams of dietary fiber which helps regulate your bowel movement, prevent constipation, and provides the right consistency to stools.
Experts recommend adding flaxseed to your diet, insisting on ground flaxseed over whole flaxseed because the first is easier to digest while the second may remain undigested.
