A member asked:

Are foods with flaxseed (kashi cereal) or chicory root fiber (fiber1 bars/kashi cereal) safe for pregnancy? 1st trimester? heard they can cause miscarriage and/or uterine contractions?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Pregnancy: I'm not a fan of taking anything like those during pregnancy. I feel a good prenatal multivitamin and nutritious diet suffice. I also feel all medications and supplements should be ok'd by your obstetrician. He/she and your pharmacist can advise you further and answer your question.
