Chia question
|
Bonnie Eddy
Is there something in chia (ground) that is not in flax?
Reason for asking is, I had to switch my mare to chia as my vet thought she wasn't tolerating even flax oil. After several months on the ground chia, Allie's mane and tail started growing longer than it has ever been before. I know the cost is more with the chia, but I can get chia for almost the same price as flax oil.

No. Nothing magical in Chia. Were you feeding freshly ground flax and refrigerated flax oil?

I was feeding Flaxen Flow oil which is in a nitrogen sealed bag with spout, not refrigerated. I had been feeding the triple crown flax for years prior.

Bonnie, had you been ok with the Triple Crown Golden flax, which says it is stabilized? I'm thinking of using it to help keep weight on my IR mare..

Hi Jean,
My mare was allergic to flax, so I had to find the alternative which was ground chia. She was fed the triple crown flax for years, but became allergic. Vet thought she didn't tolerate even the oil which was what she got after discontinuing the tc. -- Bonnie with Allie and Racham(over the rainbow) from Southern California, Nov/2016 https://ecir.groups.io/g/CaseHistory/files/Bonnie%20and%20Allie |

Just for the record, it's impossible to be allergic to an oil because there's no protein in it - unless it is unfiltered.
