Question: I developed a terrible headache and nausea after I had a tall glass of water with 2 tbs of Flax Seed. Why.?
Answers:
Did you have flax seed oil, the whole seeds, or the ground seeds.? Most people (like me) consume the oil. Others grind them and sprinkle them on things.
The only thing I can think or is, since flax seeds are high in fiber, that it is causing a "cleansing reaction" in your body. You are probably going to be pooping later since they are high in fiber, and that could be why you are having the nausea. Headaches are also a symptom of a "cleansing reaction."
I am assuming that this is a first for you.? If that is true, the best thing to do when you are trying something for the first time, is to reduce the portion, see how your body responds, then increase it if it was okay at the smaller portion.
