I had several last fall, but I think I’ve only had two this year. The hypothesis that I’m currently working under is that starches in my diet aggravate it. The first few attacks I had were after large meals with lots of rice. I also noticed that the lignans that accompany flax seed oil also irritate it, as do ground flax seeds themselves (the oil without lignans seems to be fine).

But I do want to do more. The <a href="http://www.mayoclinic.com/health/flaxseed/NS_patient-flaxseed" rel="nofollow">Mayo Clinic has a page on FSO</a> and it's potential benefits and problems. The biggest takeaway from that page seems to be that there is a lot of room for more research. The prostate cancer/FSO connection seems the weakest.

I read a couple articles by doctors who would not recommend taking flaxseed oil without lignans due to the cancer risk. But both doctors also concluded that more research needed to be done on the matter. Yeah, the cancer thing freaks me out.

For the record, at doses > 2tbsp I've experienced headaches with lingnans flaxseed.
