Why I am so constipated Surgery Jun 10th

I'm pre-sleeve but i used to have some problems in this area. I started taking phillips colon health and nary a problem. It's a probiotic. I know there are chewables out there. Maybe that would help.

Uhh I will look for it

It is best to let them soak in Water for 20 minutes until they gel and ten add to something like yogurt or Protein shake. You can also add them directly to yogurt for a nice crunch (think: grape nuts)' date=' but in my experience, they will not deliver the same BM effectiveness. Some people also like to gel and chill them in the fridge overnight. In addition to Fiber, they deliver so much in additional nutrients such as Omega3 and Protein. Two Tbsp of chia seed is usually the recommended serving size.

I bought them online from an organic seller at Amazon for several months. Good seeds and fairly economic. 2 lb bag is 25 plus shipping. Sellers (young husband and wife) were also real friendly and always responsive to my questions.

Now I see costco is selling organic Chia seeds in 2 lb bag for 12. I cannot tell the taste difference between the two or the bodily effectiveness. I use 2 TBSP of seeds helped in 10 oz of Water mixed with Protein Shake powder every morning. It is part of my morning ritual.

I suppose if you are conscientious about helping out the small and independent sellers, you should. Fair trade and all that. However, I see the costco seeds as 2x more economical and no shipping costs. So in the end it came down to cost for me.

I do chia seeds and Miralax daily and get the results I want. I am not sure if miralax daily is overkill, but if I do not take them daily, I do not see any action on the throne![/quote']

I have try Miralax but still nothing,

Good advice but i am still on liquid diet ... I really I thought that something is wrong if I do not have a BM. So I'll try not to think about it and let my body decide...

Thank you for posting about costco.....a number of years ago I picked up some at $5/pound.....but haven't seen it that low in a long time....I have put them in yogurt as mentioned, but let it sit for awhile so they aren't so seedy.
