Why does flaxseed oil make my head hurt?

Question

It churns my stomach. I take the organic stuff, cold pressed blah blah, blah. I take i teaspoon, I get a horrible headache and feel sick, I also get the same feeling from eating hard coconut jelly, but not the young one though, how strange, why does that happen

Answer 1

The stomach part is a fairly common side effect, but the headache sounds like allergy. Same w/ the coconut. (Immature coconut is a whole different food from the mature.) Here is a really good U.S. gov't website where you might find some interactions with other herbs, meds or disorders you have: http://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/drugi...

Answer 2

my advice stop taking it, and coconut is a natural laxitive. thats why it makes your stomach turn.
