Have had a lot of digestive issues since having my gallbladder removed and chia seeds seem to be the only thing helping this problem, I have no problems with chia seeds !
I’ve also found “activated charcoal” in the vitamin section to be wonderful! Natural & makes things feel “natural” when you gotta go.. normal feels great when you’ve not had it in forever, if ever. I’ve never tried this, but I am tonight & hopeful for other helpful benefits
If you're on blood-thinners, that's not a good reason to avoid chia, that's a good reason to reduce your blood thinner medication (in consultation with your doctor and your bloodwork).
@@malipratap6285 Good question. I imagine if it were pre-soaked, and especially if it were ground up, then probably yes? But I'd want you to get better advice than I can offer before you actually do it. :)
I took a little bit of time to get used to chia pudding, but now I wouldn't do without it! It's great, filling and keeps me very regular. Love the simple pudding made with the almond milk I make, with added berries. 😋
Chia seeds are also great at keeping dehydration at bay because it holds so much liquid. However, if you eat dry chia seeds, without giving them any liquid to absorb before ingesting them, they'll absorb the water within your system and potentially cause a blockage.
I love chia seeds. And it didn't cause any side effects. I take chia seeds not more than 2 tablespoons. But mostly I take 3 teaspoons daily or 1/2 days interval. And, I must admit chia helped me a lot to lose my belly fat. As a man, I don't want to have belly fat.
I can’t imagine anyone eating the volume of chia seeds that could possibly cause issues unless one is allergic to it. For example, I have a sensitivity to oats and some other grains. But doctors and many diets include oatmeal in the diet, which gives me terrible cramps…like ER level pain. So…I don’t eat oatmeal. But no one has ever warned me about that. The minimal amount of chia seeds I include in my diet doesn’t bother me at all…so I will eat it!
I ate 1tsp of chia every day with 2 tbsp of oat meal cook with almond milk.and love it for osteoporosis.my questio is are chia seeds bad for liver or or another organ?
Came across a fruit jam recipe using chia seeds as the thickener. 1 lb. Frozen fruit, 1 /4 cup chia seeds, 1/4 cup stevia. In sauce pan cook fruit and mash. Add chia and stevia. Jar it up and refrigerate over night.
Another product that causes serious problems is activated charcoal. I had an open cut on my hand. I was using an activated charcoal mask; while applying it to my face, some of it got into the cut on my hand. Within 3 minutes, I started feeling lightheaded , dizzying couldn't catch my breath. Lucky my friend was there to call the ambulance when I passed out. They did tests at the hospital and told me that any type of charcoal that gets into the body( the cut) caused my blood pressure to drop so low that I nearly died. Two products I will never use are charcoal and chia seeds which cause bowel obstructions. These products can have deadly side effects
I have just got out of hospital after suffering a blocked bowel they said caused from adhesions from an operation I had fifteen years ago. This has not happened before but is it coincidence I had eaten a breakfast with one tablespoon chia seeds one tablespoon flaxseeds, a handful of nuts with a tablespoon of oats with skimmed milk. Not enough milk and it turned into a dry mass, I was in a hurry and ate it quickly without adding more milk. I wonder now could this have caused my small intestines to block near the adhesions or was it just coincidence ?
Dear.Misty. I believe that Chia seeds may not be good for everybody. I always develop intestinal problems IBS with most cereals too in addition to bread, pancakes, waffles, cake, cookies. I get sick from.all these and cannot tolerate food so early in the day. Pasta and pizza make me deathly ill too
I eat chia seeds every day. I put them in a cup of Kefir with a drizzle of honey and blue berries. I prepare it the night before and let the cup with all this goodness sit overnight. Results are a sweet kefir chia pudding. They thicken up. The bacteria in the kefir eat up the honey. And actually start eating the berries. It's absolutley delicious. Sometime instead of blueberries or mixed berries I use banana. DELICIOUS 😋
My papa has hypertension and takes medication to keep BP in check. He was told by a friend to eat chia seeds for good health. He consumed soaked chia seeds and immediately his BP dropped below dangerously. Had to consume salt to bring it back to normal. So if you have a low Blood preassure problem or are on BP medication dont consume chia seeds without medical advice. It can be fatal in some cases.
Excellent video-- especially regarding getting stuck in the windpipe. I made the chia seed gel and kept in the fridge. Took 3 tablespoons every day for a week. Yes, it led to me loosing 7 pounds unexpectedly. I stopped taking that much and now only take it a few times throughout the week for added calcium and boron benefits-- as well as Omega 3/6/9. 👍🏽
Due to modern fads people rush to include untried foods which may create serious problems. This video was really helpful in pointing out the pitfalls of unknown foods. Thanks.

Just had blood work done and all great. My wife suggested chia seeds because she didn't think I was getting enough fiber. Within a couple days I began doing number 2 every day instead of every other day and began to bleed a little bit. Finally, because the bleeding became more frequent, we cut the amount to 1/3. The bleeding was off and on for the next few days so I stopped altogether. Now, several weeks later, I'm back to every other day, but the bleeding is essentially every other time. I am nearly convinced that this is a side effect having abruptly begun taking too much fiber all of a sudden or it is a side effect of the chia seeds, as I had just gotten back extensive blood work only days prior to the chia seeds and bleeding. I'm waiting to see if the bleeding stops before notifying the VA clinic. I'll be 64 in a couple weeks.
I just soak them in water and sometimes I grind them up and soak them in water and I just sip just three sips in the morning before I have tea or anything to eat. It really helps with bowel movements.
There's no dangerous level of fibre, and it's believed ancient humans routinely ate between 80 and 120 grams per day. People are lucky to get 20g a day now. Any side-effect from too much fibre is from a big increase in too short a time, and can be avoided simply by gradually increasing fibre in the diet.
Thank you. Good to know! I personally eat chia pudding made with coconut milk every morning, topped up with strawberries, blueberries, blackberries and raspberries and a dollop of Greek yogurt and have done this now for a couple of months. I think what is of key importance is not to have too much. I eat only 15mg a day. I do feel comfortably satiated following my breakfast and am not hungry until late afternoon. I am fortunate to be able to eat this as I do feel it helps me nutritionally. However we know that some will be allergic to them just as I may be allergic to something others aren't. Also my daughter has been making overnight oats for herself on work mornings and her recipe calls for only 1tsp of chia. This is due to the fact you would be overdoing the fibre which may be bad for you. PS I weighed this week and although was not on any kind of diet except the carbaholic one (consumed cake twice, chips, biscuits, wine, mashed potatoes, cheesecake...I know terrible right?)...I lost 6lbs! I was flabbergasted tbh. So this week I am consciously and mindfully eating less carbs to see if weight continues to drop. The only thing I've done in that week is have chia porridge every single day. Hmmm 🤔
@@MsDawn2dusk I make it in an empty jam jar, I make enough for 2 servings too. Add 2 tablespoons of chia seeds to the jam jar (300g-340g jar size) and top up with coconut or almond milk or you can use dairy milk too. Give it a good stir to get all the seeds from bottom or sides of the jar. Leave in fridge overnight and the next day give it a good stir and serve with a soup spoon size dollop (love that word 😀) of Greek yogurt, mix that in and top with a handful of blueberries, 3 medium sized strawberries, 4 raspberries and 3 blackberries. I have made it with dairy milk once when I ran out of coconut milk. I had this when I was doing keto last year and loved it so much I just carried on with it. You can play around with the consistency, I like mine medium ish. The Greek yogurt gives it a bit more texture too. I've run out of Greek for tomorrow's so I will use Coconut Collaborative coconut yogurt to thicken it. You can also have it warmed up in the winter and add a little cinnamon to it.. I hope you enjoy it. 😊
Before u consume chia seed , u need to soak the chia seed in the water for at least 15 minutes . This is a very good source of omega 3 n contains with many nutrients . I have reccommand many friends to consume chia seed , they r more healthy now
You don’t need to soak chia seeds. It’s optional. People put them in cereal, oatmeal and yogurt all the time, dry and straight out of the package. Been eating them for years like this. You’re not gonna get any kind of blockage.
@@snehamalik792 omg. Dude. Unless you’re eating a bowl don’t worry. Us Mexicans been eating them not only in drinks but in food too. You don’t need to soak.
When my hair starts falling out, I start taking chia seeds (soaked) and my hair stops falling out. There must be something in my body I am lacking. I don’t believe this will help everyone who is suffering from hair loss. We all have different needs.

Thank you! I have low blood pressure and didn’t know this can mess with that! Will for sure be keeping an eye on how I feel when making my chia fruit cups!
I don't understand why an otherwise healthy pregnant woman should avoid chia. Pregnant women regularly eat all kinds of foods that haven't been extensively tested for pregnancy. I know of no particular cause for alarm in this situation, with chia in particular.
@@franksam6818 Your reply shows a lack of backing up your assertion. Chia has been eaten for centuries without concern for pregnancy in otherwise healthy women. I'll go with practical application over theory, every time.
@@ScrapKing73 Of course you replied what you did, once again to a lack of understanding. There are plenty of things that are so called healthy for many..... But not for all people. Just like there are natural blood thinners, garlic & many other things. But people love blurting out in half understanding. So there are factors involved when giving rounded input. So for people who may have low blood pressure already, then chia lowers it more. Have fun in your half-witted mocking!
I wish I watched this before what I did. I mixed half tsp with warm milk and the next thing I could not breath. My food pipe felt clogged or swollen. This video is very helpful. Just got back from hospital 🏥
@@LaineSterlingHale It's too low 2.6g per 100g it is recommended for diabetes too... because it's better than packed juices... it is high in potassium and has magnesium, vitamin c, dietary fibre, calcium
Whenever I have used chia seeds, soaked overnight in milk, I get painful sores on my tongue and the tongue feels extremely dry too! So maybe I’m allergic to it?
I’m taking these each morning, now soaking for 30 minutes. But I was taking a tablespoon and then just drinking water afterwards. I did that for a few months 😳 Now I’m a little nervous if I should get checked out.
What can help me... I took about 1/4 cup of chia seeds in my blender smoothie but praise God there was a lot of water in the smoothie... but now I have horrible indigestion, belching, headache, now hickups... and I can't sleep. I WIll NEVER DO THAT AGAIN! Should I drink more water to wash it through... I have been doing that, but don't want to any more. What should I do? I don't have any pain. It has been about 10 hours already... so I guess I'll be ok.
@@belovedfamily733 Yes I did... thank you for asking... God bless you. I am fine now. I learned not to consume to much of even chia seeds though good... not so great when in excess. : /
Great observation! However I am not trying to dissuade people from eating chia, I myself have it 3 times a week in breakfast. Just informing people to be careful about how they eat it.

I have been putting Chia seeds in a chocolate avocado smoothie, about a tablespoon per 12 ounces. But then I it’s hard to explain…When I let the mixer sit overnight it thickens like a beautiful chocolate pudding but my question is after doing this not every day but a few times a week eating this could cause dry mouth?
Chia Seeds ARE good for health and help in fat loss by helping you feel satiated or full for longer period of time. However, A few people may react to the high fiber and high lectin content. So watch out for that. TIPS ON HOW TO ADD CHIA TO YOUR DIET : 1) Do not eat them dry, always pre-soak for 3-4 hrs and take with lots of liquids. 2) Start small with maybe half a tsp, and increase gradually if required. 3) For those who don't react well to chia, basil seeds are a great alternative. Basil seeds do not have lectins. Watch the BENEFITS OF Chia seeds HERE ! -> czcams.com/video/4QcE1camu-g/video.html
I started to take chia seeds last week to table spoon in a glass of water with lemon. Cinnamon& honey.. And I also add a table spoon to my all bran cereal.. It's a vegan chia seed. I'm not a vegan.. So now it gives me discomfort in my stomach.. Feeling dizzy like I eat the wrong thing so I dnt know..
Hey there! Some people can react with digestive distress on eating chia due to it's high lectin content. Chia is considered to be useful for weight loss because of the sense of "fullness" it brings, keeping away food cravings. If chia is not for you, you can still achieve the same with other veggie foods such as a sprout salad or a lettuce-bell pepper salad etc. I would also suggest going on a high-protein diet. Lots of veg & non-veg high protein suggestions here ➔ czcams.com/video/_M9XSyyQHsY/video.html
I spent $10 on Chia Seeds today because another Medical Doctor on YT says how great they are for heart health etc but I’m a single Mom with special needs child. After watching this I’m throwing the CS in the trash I can’t take a chance of choking or having a medical event just to try to get something that is supposed to be good for my health. I ate a banana instead. Also I ate 2-3 tiny seeds that had soaked in olive oil not water and they were still hard before I saw the video which is scary but I’m sure that 2 or 3 single seeds won’t cause a problem I’m just afraid of using them. Also it’s alarming that they cause BP to drop.
Doctors, scientiets, pharmaceutical firms knows absolutely nothing about anything pure n natural unless you are making money from it. If you are not making money from these then it will be bad for them. Then they will try to persuade not to take them thus convincing you it is bad for you because it is not putting money in their pockets.

I put a tablespoon of chia seeds in a large glass of cool water and let them absorb the water stirring periodically to break up the glutinous clumps that form. I do this several hours before consuming them. The result is a glass of ‘thickened water’ that I drink with my evening meal to assist the feeling of fullness. It is very bland (no flavour), gentle on the stomach and very effective to assist bowel habits. Also, have your mother drink plenty of water which is even more important with severe constipation.
Typically chia is put in room temp water because it will congeal too quickly in cold water. Making a chia seed gel with 1/3 cup chia seed in 2 cups water. Make certain that you mix it during the 10 minutes that it is congealing on the counter--or it will clump up. Put it in an airtight container and have your mom eat a teaspoon a couple of times a day. She can work up to a tablespoon a couple of times a day. Believe me, it works. No side effects and no pharmaceuticals. Consume this within 7 days and repeat the process.
I hope you are not taking it now. Also could you be taking too much? Stop now and try again after a few weeks in smaller quantity. Remember its not for everybody.

Give it a good stir to get all the seeds from bottom or sides of the jar. Leave in fridge overnight and the next day give it a good stir and serve with a soup spoon size dollop (love that word 😀) of Greek yogurt, mix that in and top with a handful of blueberries, 3 medium sized strawberries, 4 raspberries and 3 blackberries. I have made it with dairy milk once when I ran out of coconut milk. I had this when I was doing keto last year and loved it so much I just carried on with it. You can play around with the consistency, I like mine medium ish. The Greek yogurt gives it a bit more texture too. I've run out of Greek for tomorrow's so I will use Coconut Collaborative coconut yogurt to thicken it. You can also have it warmed up in the winter and add a little cinnamon to it.. I hope you enjoy it. 😊
Before u consume chia seed , u need to soak the chia seed in the water for at least 15 minutes . This is a very good source of omega 3 n contains with many nutrients . I have reccommand many friends to consume chia seed , they r more healthy now
What happens if u don't soak it
You don’t need to soak chia seeds. It’s optional. People put them in cereal, oatmeal and yogurt all the time, dry and straight out of the package. Been eating them for years like this. You’re not gonna get any kind of blockage.
@@BAR-ct7ti yeah you can get blockage or long term gut problems
@@snehamalik792 omg. Dude. Unless you’re eating a bowl don’t worry. Us Mexicans been eating them not only in drinks but in food too. You don’t need to soak.
@@vanessacazares9517 When you soak chia seed it will observe water on it and it will not do any harm.

When my hair starts falling out, I start taking chia seeds (soaked) and my hair stops falling out. There must be something in my body I am lacking. I don’t believe this will help everyone who is suffering from hair loss. We all have different needs.

Oh man.. .. that low BP point is true for me , i never had it .. but after taking it , i started to have lower bp , dizziness,. Wasn't energetic enough.
Thank you! I have low blood pressure and didn’t know this can mess with that! Will for sure be keeping an eye on how I feel when making my chia fruit cups!
Good Idea Wyoming Girl! If you don't react to them, they are a healthy treat!
You can take it in moderation.
I take 6 TBL daily. 3 in the morning and 3 at night. No issues
I have been eating chia seeds since 1 year, so I have not had any such problem.now m pregnant but still I use it
I don't understand why an otherwise healthy pregnant woman should avoid chia. Pregnant women regularly eat all kinds of foods that haven't been extensively tested for pregnancy. I know of no particular cause for alarm in this situation, with chia in particular.
Your reply shows a lack of understanding of other pretty common variables involved.
@@franksam6818 Your reply shows a lack of backing up your assertion. Chia has been eaten for centuries without concern for pregnancy in otherwise healthy women. I'll go with practical application over theory, every time.
@@ScrapKing73
Of course you replied what you did, once again to a lack of understanding. There are plenty of things that are so called healthy for many..... But not for all people. Just like there are natural blood thinners, garlic & many other things. But people love blurting out in half understanding. So there are factors involved when giving rounded input. So for people who may have low blood pressure already, then chia lowers it more. Have fun in your half-witted mocking!
I wish I watched this before what I did. I mixed half tsp with warm milk and the next thing I could not breath. My food pipe felt clogged or swollen. This video is very helpful. Just got back from hospital 🏥
Yikes! I hope all is fine now. Chia is not for everyone. It is high lectins and can cause an allergic reaction.
Omg 😦… thank God you are ok. Sounds frightening
I’m taking for last one week now, so far no side effects, and i’m soaking them in coconut water overnight and drink it in the morning.
Soak 2-3 TBSP of chia seeds in a jar of pure water overnight - instead of coconut water. Look at the amount of ADDED sugar in your coconut water.
Wonderful!
@@LaineSterlingHale Use Almond milk, no sugar is in it.
@@LaineSterlingHale It's too low 2.6g per 100g it is recommended for diabetes too... because it's better than packed juices... it is high in potassium and has magnesium, vitamin c, dietary fibre, calcium
What is your opinion of Flax seeds. I heard that Flax seeds reduce blood Pressure. I heard Flax seeds are good for men's prostate!
I never considered the possibility of being allergic to them. I was going to try them as pudding, but now I may just get rid of them.
Whenever I have used chia seeds, soaked overnight in milk, I get painful sores on my tongue and the tongue feels extremely dry too! So maybe I’m allergic to it?
I’m taking these each morning, now soaking for 30 minutes. But I was taking a tablespoon and then just drinking water afterwards. I did that for a few months 😳 Now I’m a little nervous if I should get checked out.
If you feel ok you should be okay. With regular bowel movements you have nothing to worry about.
I am breastfeeding and have chia seeds on my diet, it increases the amount of milk and I recommend it for breastfeeding moms 😊
Thank u very much..
That useful. Thanks for sharing!
What can help me... I took about 1/4 cup of chia seeds in my blender smoothie but praise God there was a lot of water in the smoothie... but now I have horrible indigestion, belching, headache, now hickups... and I can't sleep. I WIll NEVER DO THAT AGAIN! Should I drink more water to wash it through... I have been doing that, but don't want to any more. What should I do? I don't have any pain. It has been about 10 hours already... so I guess I'll be ok.
Take alot of water atleast 2liters a day
Hi. What did you do after consuming the chia seeds? Did you drink a lot of water ?

So the whole video is about how chia seeds are bad, and then it ends with “what recipes will you try?”. Lmao
Haha true 🤣🤣
Great observation! However I am not trying to dissuade people from eating chia, I myself have it 3 times a week in breakfast. Just informing people to be careful about how they eat it. The chia blockage is a true, though rare occurrence. www.researchgate.net/publication/316523460_Watch_it_grow_Esophageal_impaction_with_chia_seeds

There might be the mold on Chia seeds & is not tested for quality control.
The way it is dried can grow mold on it .
I started feeling not well after eating Chia & stopped eating it completely.
I will try sprouting & eat only the top .
Sure there will be no mold on greens.
Yes I agree with you ! Eat more red meat along with a large variety of processed foods and you will be on the Road to great health ! Thanks .

I have started taking chia seeds recently. I have diverticulitis where often I can get constipated. Since taking chia seeds I have been fine. Once I took chia seed pudding a little late in the night, around 9.30 pm, then I felt like too full but I was fine in the morning with a good motion. Can you or someone explain what is bad omega 3.
People with diverticulitis shouldn't consume chia seeds. Seeds in general should be avoided by people like you
@@ceez3841 that has been found to be untrue. Seeds and nuts do not impact diverticulitis
I have been putting Chia seeds in a chocolate avocado smoothie, about a tablespoon per 12 ounces. But then I it’s hard to explain…When I let the mixer sit overnight it thickens like a beautiful chocolate pudding but my question is after doing this not every day but a few times a week eating this could cause dry mouth?
I don't have any problems with chia seeds .it help in my diet
What exactly is bad omega 3 suggested by “the” doctor??
Its ok to eat flax sesseme pumpkin seeds, but after eating basil or chia...feel very full vomiting like ... Maybe i am unable to digest them. 🤔
Chia Seeds ARE good for health and help in fat loss by helping you feel satiated or full for longer period of time. However, A few people may react to the high fiber and high lectin content. So watch out for that. TIPS ON HOW TO ADD CHIA TO YOUR DIET :
1) Do not eat them dry, always pre-soak for 3-4 hrs and take with lots of liquids.
2) Start small with maybe half a tsp, and increase gradually if required.
3) For those who don't react well to chia, basil seeds are a great alternative. Basil seeds do not have lectins.

I started to take chia seeds last week to table spoon in a glass of water with lemon. Cinnamon& honey..
And I also add a table spoon to my all bran cereal.. It's a vegan chia seed. I'm not a vegan.. So now it gives me discomfort in my stomach.. Feeling dizzy like I eat the wrong thing so I dnt know..
The reason why I took chia seed to loose weight... So today I didn't take it.. I only need water... To me it's look like something goes wrong
Hey there! Some people can react with digestive distress on eating chia due to it's high lectin content. Chia is considered to be useful for weight loss because of the sense of "fullness" it brings, keeping away food cravings. If chia is not for you, you can still achieve the same with other veggie foods such as a sprout salad or a lettuce-bell pepper salad etc. I would also suggest going on a high-protein diet. Lots of veg & non-veg high protein suggestions here ➔ czcams.com/video/_M9XSyyQHsY/video.html
If I have more than 1T of it ground, my stomach feels so bloated. Moderation.....
That is goood advice!
After such scary side effects you are telling us trying chia seed pudding ...🙏👍
I spent $10 on Chia Seeds today because another Medical Doctor on YT says how great they are for heart health etc but I’m a single Mom with special needs child. After watching this I’m throwing the CS in the trash I can’t take a chance of choking or having a medical event just to try to get something that is supposed to be good for my health. I ate a banana instead. Also I ate 2-3 tiny seeds that had soaked in olive oil not water and they were still hard before I saw the video which is scary but I’m sure that 2 or 3 single seeds won’t cause a problem I’m just afraid of using them. Also it’s alarming that they cause BP to drop.
1 teaspoon of chia seed soak at night with a glass of water every alternate day will do magic.
@@unionics I threw them away because other doctors say they cause bowel blockages etc it’s not worth it to take something and cause a problem
I haven't stopped seeing them in my stool 5 weeks later. Alot of them. I ate them once.
As if a doctor would know anything about chia seed side effects.
Doctors, scientiets, pharmaceutical firms knows absolutely nothing about anything pure n natural unless you are making money from it. If you are not making money from these then it will be bad for them. Then they will try to persuade not to take them thus convincing you it is bad for you because it is not putting money in their pockets.

No all side effects do not happen to everyone. And some people have no side effects at all. There is no way to know unless you try it. Start small.

@@pbjgurl what if you just drank the chia with water? Did that and I’m kinda worried now
@@tuckerkrause5838 that’s perfectly fine too. A tbsp or 2 of chia in water is fine. Just wait at least 5 mins before drinking them so all the seeds can properly absorb the water.

My mother is 80 years of age and undergoing severe constipation. How and to what extent of chia seeds can she take regularly? Can you please suggest?
I put a tablespoon of chia seeds in a large glass of cool water and let them absorb the water stirring periodically to break up the glutinous clumps that form. I do this several hours before consuming them. The result is a glass of ‘thickened water’ that I drink with my evening meal to assist the feeling of fullness. It is very bland (no flavour), gentle on the stomach and very effective to assist bowel habits. Also, have your mother drink plenty of water which is even more important with severe constipation.
Typically chia is put in room temp water because it will congeal too quickly in cold water. Making a chia seed gel with 1/3 cup chia seed in 2 cups water. Make certain that you mix it during the 10 minutes that it is congealing on the counter--or it will clump up. Put it in an airtight container and have your mom eat a teaspoon a couple of times a day. She can work up to a tablespoon a couple of times a day. Believe me, it works. No side effects and no pharmaceuticals. Consume this within 7 days and repeat the process.
Molasses, one teaspoonful taken dissolved in warm water in the morning, has laxative effect.
@russell chowdhury try homeopathic remedy it worked wonders for constipation
A friend of mine told me that after soaking, its smell and taste becomes very bad. Please share your experience
It doesn’t
