Porto Biomed J. 2024 Oct 25;9(5):265. doi: 10.1097/j.pbj.0000000000000265. eCollection 2024 Sep-Oct.

Abstract

Flaxseed is an emerging allergen, and a detailed clinical history is crucial for diagnosis. Flaxseed allergens identified are associated with severe reactions. Providing clear advice on food avoidance might be challenging as there are no reports of clinical cross-reactivity to other foods published.
