I know I'm late to this one but I love your vids girl! Maybe the flakes has something to do with the guar gum or maybe the flaxseed to water ratio? I made some the day before yesterday and haven't had any flakes at all. But I use 1/4 cup flaxseed to 16.9 ounces (typically, one bottle of purified water).  I also add 1 tablespoon of Jojoba before it cools.

Thank you for the information, especially the addition about people with thyroid conditions. Since I have thyroid disease, I will stay away, but if I had not listened to your video, I would have never known! Thumbs up.
