Has anyone had maladies that worsened after taking flaxseed oil. I have problems with sinuses and after taking flaxseed oil I wake up in the morning with a sore throat and all this thick green mucus. My throat remains sore the whole day as if I am catching a cold. I've tried different brands of flaxseed oil from reputable companies and it's always the same thing. Is this "die off" or am I just exacerbating my problems.
There's a possibility that you might be allergic to flax seeds. You could try to get tested to see if this is the case. If so, you may want to try to use another oil, such as fish oils, to meeet your nutritional needs.
