    It's probably okay, but I'd run it by your MO.

    I avoid flax seed because of the phytoestrogens. But I'm not a naturopath or a nutritionist who knows about AIs and Tamox, so I'd dig more deeply on your own.

    My MO doesn't know much, if anything, about diet and drug relationships, so in MHO, I wouldn't even ask her about interactions.
