Will Chia Seeds cause constipation?

Yes, if you do not drink enough water. Chia is a high-fiber food, and eating a high-fiber diet without drinking enough fluid can lead to constipation. Fiber needs water to be properly digested. Without water, stools can become too bulky and dry to pass through comfortably. It is preferable to consume Chia Seeds that have been soaked in water for a minimum of 10-15 min. Adding 1 tablespoon of chia seeds into 1 regular glass of water is a good seed-to-water proportion. How much water should an adult drink per day? In general, an adult should follow the usual recommendation of about “eight glasses a day” or about 2 liters of water, and that includes all fluid from foods like fruits, vegetables and porridge.
