Hi

Sorry about the constipation. Make sure you are drinking plenty of water too as this is essential to ease the process. Hopefully by now the psyllium has worked.

On the flaxseed headache. Whilst I take cod liver oil rather than flaxseed when I took evening primrose oil capsules I also developed a headache and it took me a while to realise that these had caused this. It may be that you are sensitive to this oil, so stop it for a week to ensure the headache has gone, then try again. If the headache returns I would discontinue the capsules as this is your bodies way of telling you it does not want this particular supplement. They are not appropriate for constipation. You have a lot of fat in your diet which helps with that.
