Brief Answer:
No you can't take flax seed

Detailed Answer:
Hello! Thanks for putting your query in XXXXXXX I am a Gastroenterologist (DM).

Bloating is produced due to indigestible sugars or proteins which is then digested by bacteria present in our GI tract and then produces lots of gases which causes bloating. Flax seed contain lots of fibers which is indigestible, so it will produce more bloating. So it is not advisable to take flax seed
