⚠️ Start Slow — Here’s Why
Chia seeds are very high in fiber (11g per ounce), which is great — but if your current diet is low in fiber, jumping straight to 2 tbsp/day could cause:
Bloating
Gas
Constipation (if not drinking enough water)
Start with 1 tsp/day for a few days, then slowly increase to 1 tbsp or more.
