What are symptoms that your allergic to sesame seeds?

it can go anywhere from ichy throat, swelling of the face, rash, hives which all usually go away after a period of time. but the worst is called anaphalix, in which your throat will swell to the point you can breath, which leads to other very bad things that i won't get into.

Stop eating the flaxseed and see if things change. Just because it's packed where sesame seeds are handled doesn't mean the flaxseed is contaminated but they are warning that it might be. If you are highly allergic to sesame seeds, one day you could end up in a lot of trouble, so you should heed the warning. I am mildly allergic to two foods, various pollens and a few other things. Since finding out about what I'm allergic to, I stopped eating my allergen foods and my hayfever is no longer much trouble to me. That's the only thing I changed and there were days before I stopped eating those foods where my hayfever would drive me crazy!! So get off anything that may contain sesame and see if things change for you. Also, be aware that if you drop something from your diet that you are allergic to, you could have a nasty reaction to it later, assuming I'm not mixing that up with some info about intolerance instead.... but at any rate, it's not recommended to eat foods you are allergic to.
