Gastrointestinal Distress
Gastrointestinal distress from flax seeds can occur due to their high fiber content, which may cause bloating, gas, and cramping, especially if consumed in large amounts. The fiber can ferment in the digestive tract, leading to discomfort. To prevent this, start with a small amount of flax seeds and gradually increase your intake, allowing your digestive system to adjust. Drinking plenty of water can also help ease the passage of fiber through the digestive tract. If gastrointestinal distress persists, consider reducing your flax seed intake and consulting a healthcare professional.
