How Many People Use Chia Seeds?



Recommended Posts

I'm wondering how many chia users there are here & what you are paying for the seeds. I just got my first bag (1lb) and they were kinda expensive.

I found a place in AZ that will wholesale them to me but I'd have to buy forty four 1.5lb bags.

10$ seems to be the going price, so they are kinda expensive but dang well worth it, I have never been as regular as I am when I started using these. I still have to use Mirilax too, the chia seeds just seem to make me more comfortable, when I took Mirilax alone I had a lot of urgency.

According to my research the black has a bit more antioxidants, whereas the whitis slightly higher in Protein. The difference is really so minimal tgat I don't think it really matters.

I think if I were trying for maximum health benifit I'd go for the black because I already get plenty of Protein.

I bought some for hunger, tried them once and hated how they expanded. :( Now I'll try them quickly and see what happens. :)

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
