Oh yes, it's a problem. I anticipated it from the beginning and started munching the flax seeds right away. I kept increasing them for about 4 days until it felt right. I drink gallons of water. I have done that for years. I always say that water replaced cigarettes in my life. After I quit smoking about 7 years ago, I would leave my house and think instead of "Where are my cigarettes?", "Where is my water bottle?"
