Answer 1

i would ask the doctor first before anything  

Answer 2

There is a difference between culinary use and medical use.

Certainly culinary use of flaxseed is unlikely to be a concern.  However herbs/drugs that disrupt hormones are always a safety concern -particularly during pregnancy.

Mega doses of flax seed can contain toxic levels of cyanide as well.

I would say that in moderation it is fine, but I would limit it to one serving per day which is 60mL
