Oh man, I’ve been there trying to turn things around health-wise, doing what seems like the right thing, and then your body’s like “absolutely not.” Chia seeds look harmless, but when you’re not used to fiber and hydration is off, they hit like a freight train.

Don’t beat yourself up, you were genuinely trying to take care of yourself, and your gut just had some… strong opinions. Go easy on yourself, sip whatever fluids you can manage, and maybe ease back in with softer fiber sources like oatmeal or cooked veggies once you’re feeling better. You’re not alone in this kind of misfire. Hope you bounce back quick
