I ate overnight oats with chia for the first time and have been experiencing severe stomach cramps all morning. I can’t eat quinoa. I wonder if the high protein and fiber in both is what triggers it.

Thanks for sharing. Indeed a precise blog. I have been taking True Elements Raw Chia Seeds in my diet for couple of months now and I can see a difference. You were right to mention about the weight loss aspect of it.

I love chia seed pudding for breakfast. I make it with mango and carrot juice and plain yogurt. No added sugar but the juices make it sweet enough to pass for dessert.

We've been eating chia seeds every day for breakfast for years now. Good to know all the benefits!

Hi I took chia seeds in the morning empty stomach with hot water, the full day affected by vomiting sensation and not feeling hungry shall I continue this drink give suggestions

Even if I grind and soak chia seeds I get stomach troubles. Is this something your body adjusts to? Should I persevere or just give up on chia? I get issues with flaxseed too

Where do u get these chia seeds? I've never heard of them.

Thank you for this great information on chia seeds. I knew I had been cautioned about chia seeds and now have been reminded that it's because I have lower blood pressure. So glad I read this.

I've just started eating chia seeds, both in hot and room temp water. Which temperature is suitable?

I have Chia pudding just about every morning. Very easy to make. I also put chia in many things I cook. I am diabetic and I use chia to bring up the fiber content of things I love but shouldn't eat, like for example Spaghetti

I used it as a supplement for my diet. every morning after my apple cider vinegar drink. I added 2 teaspoons on my daily water drink for the rest of the day. Am'I doing the right thing?

Thank you for the good information. I am taking it 2 table spoon everyday morning & night with Apple cider vinegar , Lemon juice and cinammon power, pinch salt. Is it good idea or too much? Could you please recomand for me? How to eat the best way? Thank you for helping me.

Chia seeds are useful for setting jam if you don't want to add sugar or pectin for just for low pectin fruit jam. I use them to make red grape jam for my neighbour who is diabetic and it gets round the no sugar aspect nicely. I boil the fruit for 10 minutes. Turn off the heat and stir in the chia seeds. Approx 3 tablespoons per pound of fruit. Maybe less if you don't mind softer jam.

No doubt chia seeds is one of the healthiest seeds out there. It helps more particularly those who are dieting. I love chia seed ever since. Thanks!

Thanks for the recipes!!

Very informative article. Am going to eat more.

Good

Thanks so much for the information and for including the good and the possible bad! Do you have any information on how much nickel is in chia seeds? I am allergic to nickel in foods (an eczema reaction and lower amounts are okay), but I'd love to be able to add chia seeds to my diet.

Great article! I learned a lot! Thank you! P.S. chia pudding is my favorite--chia seeds soaked in milk in the refrigerator for a day then add something sweet--a bit of honey or maple syrup and or some fruit! Yum!
