I started adding chia seeds in my morning water for digestion before i knew i was pregnant. Now im second guessing it. Are they fine to continue or should i stop, anyone?
They're considered safe and nutritious in normal food amounts. The only caution is they expand a lot in liquid, so soak them and drink water. As always if u have any specific condition mention it to ur gynac.
Chia seeds are actually good, lots of fibre and omega-3. I add a spoon soaked in water to my smoothie. Just keep the quantity normal and drink enough water with them so they dont cause bloating.
Not bad at all, in moderation they helped my constipation a lot. One spoon soaked overnight is plenty. Dont overdo it though, too much fibre suddenly can upset ur tummy.
I soaked them and had with nimbu pani, felt nice and kept me regular. Always soak first, dont eat them dry. If u have any gut issues or it causes discomfort then check with ur doc na.
