What are the benefits of chia seeds?

Along with being very nutritionally dense, the major benefit of chia to us is that its outer membrane absorbs & retains Water, carrying it into the intestine naturally relieving the dry, hard stools many of us suffer with.

Thanks OTR. So as long as things move along easily I guess they would have no other benefit to take them.

They'd be in the natural/health food section in higher end grocers, also available at herbalist stores, Vitamin Shoppe, & Amazon.< /p>

They're also a great source of Omega 3's, we lose our hair loosing weight this fast because we don't get enough omegas with our diet restrictions. Folic acid + omega 3's = great hair. Botin helps you digest omega's but if' we're not getting enough it's a waste of money. Better to get some salmon oil, chia seeds + folic acid. Just make sure you only take the salmon oil after a meal and yes, it'll help things run smoothly too (as well as being one of the best anti-inflammatories on the market).

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
