Brief Answer:
Flas seeds are known to interfere with warfarin and inulin.
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for posting your query on HealthcareMagic.
Out of all three food products mentioned, flax seeds can interfere with both warfarin and propofenone.
This is due to presence of omega 3 fatty acids in flax seeds.
Thus, I suggest you to take flax seeds only after consulting your treating doctor.
Other two products- acacia gum and agave inulin are not known to interfere with the drugs.
Thanks and take care
