Since living in a rural area, the availability of coarsely ground linseed of Schapfenmühle is not guaranteed (the product of a different brand locally cost twice as much!). It offered to order a box of 11 packets a 200 g through Amazon. This corresponds to my year's supply. The goods delivered by the end of October 2012 Stable (08.Nov.2011 ordered), packaged in white plastic bags and provided with carton. Opened package I give in a hermetically sealable box for practical portioning. Tried by the same company and "flaxseed whole", here the grains are still closed, you have to nibble a little more to it. The positive health effect is with me the same as with coarsely ground flaxseed.
The quality of grain this agent has over the years remained the same good (DLG awarded "Gold Prize" 2011). So I can with a clear conscience recommend anyone there even with this favorable natural product to try the aptly described by my symptoms. Preferably before you can turn on by some "pill-moving" expensive medicine and "miracle cure". The days of "hose swallow" and colonoscopies I do not want be able to experience it again. Nature knows how to help, nature has helped me! But thank you to Mother Nature, and "Father white coat" can I go to hell as far as the digestion. ;-)
