Here are some side effects of flaxseed for menstrual cramps.
- Heavy menstrual bleeding: Flaxseeds contain phytoestrogens that can disrupt hormonal balance, potentially leading to heavier menstrual bleeding, especially in people with conditions such as uterine fibroids or endometriosis.
- Digestive problems: High fiber content can cause bloating, constipation or Vietnamese sausagey diarrhea.
- Breast pain: Phytoestrogen in flaxseed can lead to hormonal changes, causing breast pain in some women.
- Intestinal obstruction: Not drinking enough water while using flaxseed can lead to intestinal obstruction.
- Allergic reactions: Some people may experience allergic reactions, including itching, swelling, or gastrointestinal upset.
