      <i_freetext>Intervention 1: Intervention group: Patients in the intervention group will receive 30 grams of flaxseed powder daily for 12 weeks. Fresh flaxseed will be prepared and ground from Zarin giyahine store. 30 gram packages of flaxseed powder with the relevant packaging and label have been prepared and the consumption amount for one month will be provided to the patients. Patients are asked to consume one 30 gram packet every night with water, cold liquids or salad. Intervention 2: Control group: patients in the control group do not receive any food or placebo and the study is open labeled.</i_freetext>
