Flax oil is a fabulous source of healthy oils, but like all fats it's a GI stimulant so it can cause attacks. Incorporate small amounts with soluble fiber foods and you should be just fine (treat it as you would olive oil, canola oil, avocados, etc.). Finely ground flax meal can also be added to soluble fiber foods. Vitamin E is fine as a supplement - take it with food.
Melons have both fructose and insoluble fiber, so treat as you would any other fresh fruit. Eat them carefully - not on an empty stomach, not without soluble fiber. Having a slice for dessert is always a good option.
