Chia Seeds

[Carolyn]

I just received my chia seeds and started eating them yesterday. I was curious .. has anyone had any bloating issues with them? I'm pretty bloated today, and I'm not sure if that's what triggered it. Maybe I put too much in my banana-papaya pudding? (I can't remember now if I put in one or two tablespoons ... I'd made it last night, and it's been a long day today. They were soaked, tho', btw.)

Is there anything to do to keep from bloating when eating them?

Thanks for any input! :)

I eat them soaked and they don't cause bloating.

Thanks, Juliebove. Maybe something else triggered it today. I didn't think they were supposed to ... but something sure did! Maybe the banana wasn't quite ripe enough. They tend to set me off, too. (But I still can't resist them!)

Can you buy chia seeds at your standard health food store? I have never seen them before...

I've never looked before. I'd just read about them on here and ordered them online. I'll have to check Whole Foods the next time I'm there.

I asked and they special ordered them for me. Now they are selling well.
