linseed for cleaning out the intestines?

it seems to be all about SWF (Salt-Water-Flush) and enemas on this forum... hasn't anyone around here heard of soaked linseeds (2-3 tbsp in a glass of water for a couple of hours)? researching swedish websites (i'm a native swede living in the uk) for ways to clean out the bowel, this seems to be a common method at least in sweden... apparently the gel produced during soaking helps heal any inflammatory conditions in the intestines as well - not bad, eh?

anyone out there who's tried it? i'll be trying it today and i'll post the update here... i'm still only preparing for my fast which starts on thursday, as i want to go with the lunar cycles :)
