Note about this food
Whole flaxseeds are better tolerated in histamine and FODMAP sensitivities because they are less processed, reducing the risk of histamine release or fermentation in the gut. Ground or pre-milled flax can oxidize quickly, which may increase inflammatory responses and intolerance symptoms. Buying whole grains and grinding them fresh ensures better stability, freshness, and safer digestion.
