Flaxseeds are an excellent source of mucilage, which is a slimy and mushy compound lining the entire digestive tract. It provides a protective and soothing coating. Flaxseeds contain as much as twelve percent mucilage, which can help alleviate constipation and restore digestive health after ulcers, infection, or antibiotic use. Individuals can even use flaxseed meal to bake high fiber muffins along with bran and lots of fruit or add a few tablespoons of ground flaxseeds to their morning oatmeal along with a handful of blueberries. Either way, including flax in one's diet is a crucial way to quickly relieve symptoms of severe constipation and get things moving along quickly.
