It looks like flax has both SF and IF. However, given the 1/2 ratio of SF to IF, I would emphatically NOT consider it an SFS like acacia. Here are some links I found:

http://ibsgroup.org/eve/ubb.x/a/tpc/f/80510261/m/279104641 (Check out the author!)

http://www.expertfoods.com/FAQs/fiber-for-lowcarbers.html (Key quote: "Remember that flax seeds must be crushed or ground to get at both the soluble fiber and the beneficial oil -- otherwise they are just relatively large particles of insoluble fiber." (Emphasis mine.))

http://www.diabetesselfmanagement.com/print.cfm?aid=1706 (One quote: "flaxseed's fiber is one-third soluble and two-thirds insoluble")

Who knew?
