Hi
You can take chia seeds for chronic constipation as it's high in fibre ...take for 2 to 3 days initially and then check how it's working for you..and then accordingly you can extend your intake or stop and take occassionally as SOS...basing on your requirement...
Another option for chronic constipation you can take half teaspoon psyllium husk powder with a small glass of water and see how it's working for you...it's also natural and safest option..
Note:.
Don't take much dose..as anything more is again detrimental to health..
When your condition improves please stop taking...and take when necessary only..
Thankyou

Hi, Chia seeds are rich in fibre and also omega-3 fatty acids. The soluble fibre increases on soaking in water and helps in releiving constipation, lowering cholesterol and weight loss. About 1-2 tsp per day should help in addition to a well balanced diet rich in fruits and leafy vegetables. Drink a glass of water every hour. Exercise of 30-40 minutes per day should help.
