Thanks to all of you who responded to my query about the GF nature of
flax.  The general view is that flax acts as a laxative and so I should
reduce my consumption of it (which had been very modest anyway) to avoid
diarrhea.  Also, my reaction could an allergy.  I had tried flax for its
Omega-3 fatty acids and one person suggested hemp oil instead.  I
appreciate all the responses though I still wonder what kind of plant
flax is (hemp, too) and how closely related it is to wheat.  In any event
I've remained flax-free and things are back to normal.
