Flax seed plants (Linum usitatissimum) and jute plants (Corchorus species) are different. Flax seed plants are grown mainly for their seeds that are rich in omega-3 fatty acids, while jute plants are cultivated primarily for their fibers used in making textiles, ropes, and burlap. Both plants belong to different botanical families and have distinct uses.
It is generally recommended to avoid taking flax seed with tamoxifen. Flax seeds contain compounds that may have estrogen-like effects, which could potentially interfere with the action of tamoxifen, a medication commonly used to treat hormone receptor-positive breast cancer. It is best to consult with a healthcare provider for personalized advice.
I think it doesn't matter but if you eat whole flax seeds you have to chew them well. The outside of flax seed is too hard to break apart by chewing and whole flax seed is not properly digested to get out the nutrients. The recommendation is to use either flax seed oil to use already ground flax seed.

Flax seeds must be finely ground into a meal to get the maximum benefits from the omega-3 oil and dietary fiber. You can use a coffee grinder and dedicate its use to grinding flax seeds. Once ground, the flax seeds should be consumed quickly, because the oil in the seeds oxidizes rapidly. Try to consume 2 tablespoons of ground flax seed daily, and make sure you drink plenty of water when adding flax seed to your diet. Ground flax seed can easily be mixed into salad dressing, or added on top of dishes including salads, stir-fry, soup, stews, and cereal. Flax seeds are 35-40% oil, so a similar amount of oil may be omitted from any recipe requiring oil that also includes ground flax seeds. Similarly, about 1 tablespoon of ground flax seeds steeped in 3 tablespoons of warm water for 2-3 minutes will substitute for one egg in recipes.
