Flaxseed

My doc told me NOT to eat any flaxseed, along with black cohash and soy because they are synthetic estrogens. Anyone else?

I have never used flax seed because it is confusing - I had bought some that were already ground, but then I read that they need to be fresh ground.

Hi Coach
I think it is the ER- people who are taking it
and some ER+ use it sparingly. My onc also
told me to stay away from phytoestrogens.

Oh No...........Talk of flax and all that confusing stuff again. My head is starting to spin so I'm going to crawl onto my confusion couch again.

HUGS.......

You're okay on this one Marejo. You can stay off of the couch.

You are ER- so the flax is okay for you. All you have to do is
grind the seeds in a coffee grinder. It's the Estrogen + people
who need to take a seat on the confusion couch
