It is not listed on the "allowed foods" list in DANDR but is mentioned in the section discussing adding fibre supplements to aid against constipation
So although Dr A did not actually suggest using ground flax seeds for baking bread or muffins on induction he did say we could use a tablespoon or so as quoted below.
From Chapter 8 in the section titled "Supplementing With Fiber"

I recommend that you take one tablespoon of psyllium husks daily. Be sure to select a sugar-free product. You can also take one tablespoon of coarse wheat bran or flaxseed meal. Although it's derived from grain, coarse bran is pure fiber and therefore it too contributes zero to your carb count. Psyllium husks should be mixed with water. You can sprinkle bran over your vegetables or blend flaxseed meal into a shake.

In Chapter 11 in his "Twelve Rules" Dr Atkins wrote

12. If you are constipated, mix a tablespoon or more of psyllium husks in a cup or more of water and drink daily. Or mix ground flaxseed into a shake or sprinkle wheat bran on a salad or vegetables.
