Could Chia Seeds Be Causing My Digestive Issues? - #52192

Client_8eb4f7

I’ve been adding a tablespoon of ground Chia seeds to my morning cereal or my morning coconut yogurt. For over a month now, my stomach has felt very hard and the bowel movements are not easy. Can the Chia seeds cause this problem?

Thanks, this was so helpful! Your suggestion really put my mind at ease. I’m trying the steam inhalation & it’s already helping a bit!
