Flaxseed had gone rancid
My partner and I had upset stomachs every time we had smoothies made with this flaxseed from Amazon, so much so that we've developed a dietary sensitivity towards flaxseed in general. We previously had no issues with ground flaxseed purchased from our local Wholefoods. After speaking to a nutritionist, we learned that ground flaxseed can go rancid very quickly, so I'm suspicious about how long ours had been sitting in Amazon's inventory. If you want ground flaxseed, either grind it yourself or purchase from a trusted supplier and store in your freezer.
