Those flare ups sound like it's related to candida overgrowth.
By the way, I'm getting really confused as to whether i should get flax seed oil or black currant seed oil or perhaps both. Apparently having a 2:1 ratio of omega-6 to omega-3 is ideal. However, given most people's diet nowadays, there's a lot more omega-6 to omega-3 consumed. So, do you think consuming flax seed oil is better because there's a high omega-3 to omega-6 ratio to balance the already high amount of omega-6 consumed?
