What side effects does flaxseed have?
NCCIH, part of NIH, says flaxseed and flaxseed oil may cause uncomfortable digestive symptoms like bloating, fullness, and diarrhea. That statement is about flaxseed products in general. NCCIH does not mention flaxseed milk, so we cannot say how much of it applies to a glass of flaxseed milk.
Are raw flaxseeds safe?
NCCIH advises not to eat raw or unripe flaxseeds because they may contain potentially toxic compounds.
Does flaxseed interact with medicines?
NCCIH notes theoretical interactions with anticoagulant and antiplatelet drugs and advises talking with a health care provider before using flaxseed if you take any medicine.
Is it safe in pregnancy?
NCCIH says some studies of flaxseed during pregnancy suggest it is possibly unsafe, though the evidence is not conclusive, and little is known about use while breastfeeding. Ask your doctor first.
What we could not confirm
The NCCIH page does not discuss allergies or the amount of flaxseed in commercial flaxseed milk. Check the label of your product.
