Hi Sunshyne068,
I tried those chia seeds about a year ago, like you I put them in my tea and man where they nasty. Slimy and crunchy did not work for me, so I threw them away. I am glad to see that you are seeing some type of benefit. Please continue to post and let us know or me at least how it works out for you because if you do have good results I am willing to give it a try again but I will use the method you are trying.
