Thank you for this post! One try of Chia seeds and I'm a believer! My 7 year old has been taking Miralax and I'm switching him over today! Thanks again! You guys are awesome!

Yep! They're great in yogurt... I put flax seed in too, also helps with the number 2s!

So, I've been reading about the chia. Should I let them gel or just eat them straight with LOTS of Water? I'm still pre-op so my use for them is more hunger control and internal sweeping.

So, wet or dry? And same benefits either way?

I tried making the gel, it was nasty. It had no taste, but still made me gag. I have really enjoyed putting them in my Protein shakes and then drinking immediately. I've also been putting them in SF pudding cups. Yesterday I mixed them into some scrambled eggs, that was good. Probably would be good mixed up in Peanut Butter. I've also been meaning to mix some into orange juice.

It's the same benefit whether you let them gel or not. They are going to gel in our stomach. If you do eat them dry, be sure you are hydrated, or hydrate immediately afterward because they will be looking for some liquid to absorb.

Thank you. I've just been taking a spoonful in the morning with my Protein Drink then lots of Water. Been slow going for these first few days but I'm sure it's just transition.

I saw a drink in the store that was a chia infused drink.

Also heard you can use something other than water for it to gel like juice. Better flavor, but I'm a texture sensitive gal so downing the dry seeds is good for me.
