Reviews
Olga, 25 years old: I have seasonal exacerbations of gastritis, so every spring / autumn I try to switch to light food and take some gentle means to normalize the work of the stomach and intestines. 2 years ago I read about flaxseed and decided to take a cleansing course. Since then I regularly take it with kefir, without even grinding. I’m very glad that gastritis does not bother me anymore.
