Flaxseed? Flexeed is a common misspelling of flaxseed.

Flaxseed is a natural product that contains soluble fiber, alpha-linolenic acid (an omega-3 fatty acid), and lignans (phytoestrogens). It may provide numerous health benefits, including lowering cholesterol, helping with menopause symptoms, promoting colon health, and regulating blood sugar. Flaxseed can be found in baked goods, eaten plain, or mixed into foods or drinks. While most people respond well to flaxseed products, potential side effects include abdominal pain, bloating, nausea, and diarrhea.
