Chia seeds
So apparently, chia seeds absorb water in your tummy. To avoid this too much, you should soak them for 10-15 minutes in water, milk or a milk substitute before consuming.
Do you do this? Share anything relevantly educational if you can.

@๐พ๐๐ค๐๐๐๐ thanks, how do you mill yours?
I don't. I buy them milled.
@๐พ๐๐ค๐๐๐๐ phew. Time is too precious for milling!
Yes they do absorb water but for this very reason chia is amazing for weight loss- you feel fuller for longer BECAUSE they absorb water after consuming. I add a handful to my yogurt w Muesli and to my smoothies.

And they need to be milled if you want to get the nutritional value, otherwise your tummy can't digest them and you just poop them.
