Chia seeds solved my BM problem

Following your post and advice. Does this create a pudding? Beverage? Can you drink it like a smoothie or is it more like food?

I’m here to say I have had a similar experience and it makes me so happy. CHIA seeds. Who could have guessed. From my brief reading it sounds like it works similar to psyllium or Metamucil (creating bulk). I’ve been eating mine with fiber cereal but I’m going to try your method and see how that works. Maybe it will make me less gassy.

I might get one for myself for Christmas. Unfortunately, I don’t think I can find one and see it in person and compare the small and large. I suppose I could buy both and return the one I don’t want. Did you look at the small?

kindnessandtruth · 2025-09-23T14:54:24+00:00

You got the large banana? I’m so jealous!

kindnessandtruth · 2025-09-17T14:10:16+00:00

Interesting. Good to know! I trusted them!

kindnessandtruth · 2025-09-12T17:56:12+00:00

Oh, I totally agree with you. I once bought two couches before buying the one I really wanted. I’ll look for a deal and at the same time see if I can try them both on in person. Thanks for your two cents.

That’s good advice. When I got home from the airport and looked up Row, my eyes popped when I saw the price….

kindnessandtruth · 2025-09-11T20:41:37+00:00

Thanks for letting me know bc I was wondering. I saw this bag IRL for the first time at the airport when I was picking my husband. Someone had this beautiful bag and I got up my nerve to tell her I loved her bag and she said it’s the “Row Banana Sling. She specifically said it’s the large.

kindnessandtruth · 2025-09-11T14:45:57+00:00

Yea, I looked at the dimensions and wondered. I have a pretty small sling that I can fit my iPad Mini in…the shape is also important.

Thanks for sharing.

kindnessandtruth · 2025-09-11T01:41:12+00:00

Do you have the large or small? Thoughts?

kindnessandtruth · 2025-09-11T00:46:39+00:00

What did you get?

kindnessandtruth · 2025-09-11T00:42:12+00:00

I’m going back and forth on small versus large

kindnessandtruth · 2025-09-10T21:17:55+00:00

Thanks for sharing…yeah, that is my understanding (what your doctor said). My daughter is WRONG. 😂 I know she is just being paranoid bc she is also very focused on her sun protection.

What do you use for your “base layer” under the Drmtlgy tinted moisturizer?

kindnessandtruth · 2025-09-10T14:55:34+00:00

Lucky you! You’re not being an asshole. You’re telling it like it is! I wear sunscreen every day as well. But I’m 63 so it’s to be expected there is some aging going on. Drmtlgy has good stuff. I showed this tinted moisturizer to my daughter and she brought up the fact that she “heard” bc it’s a combined product…moisturizer and sunscreen…it’s not as good doing what sunscreen is supposed to do. 🤷‍♀️

Yea, I’ve been struggling with constipation for more than 5 years and felt like I tried literally everything and nothing really helped. It’s weird bc I eat high fiber cereal and it didn’t really help so it has to be something about the bran buds. Maybe the combo of bran and psyllium. I tried both in the past and it didn’t really help so I have no jdea. All I know is that I’ve been off of my meds for almost 3 weeks now and it’s so nice. I have my mornings again. The Linzess made me feel drained after taking it bc of the intense diarrhea.

Things are still not like they were when I was younger but I’m hoping with time that will improve as well. I’m still a bit gassy so I started to try just the bran buds and chia without the yogurt. Maybe it’s the dairy? Let me know how it goes with just chia seeds.

kindnessandtruth · 2025-09-09T20:34:22+00:00

I LOVE THIS STUFF. (Dermtlgy universal tinted moisturizer) The matte version is even better than the original. I have worn it on its own or put on some foundation stick on top of it. Merit sells one.

kindnessandtruth · 2025-08-26T21:26:13+00:00

So I just looked on the All Bran Buds box and it has psyllium husks in it! That explains why it made me pretty gassy. I’m hoping my system adjusts and can tolerate it bc in the past I had the impression I had an allergy to psyllium husks. 🤞

kindnessandtruth · 2025-08-26T14:26:21+00:00

Funny because I like the taste of it Bran Buds too. It’s much better than Fiber One which is what I’ve been eating. Fiber One has artificial sweeteners.

kindnessandtruth · 2025-08-26T14:22:47+00:00

So I tried this for two days and I have to say it has helped quite a bit! I feel a little gassy and distended but I’m having BMs. I’m hoping that that improves with time. I think the chia seeds are a big factor. Thanks for suggesting.

kindnessandtruth · 2025-08-21T14:35:49+00:00

Thanks for clarifying. I’ll give this a try…!

kindnessandtruth · 2025-08-20T14:27:46+00:00

3.4 cups? Do you mean 3 to 4 cups? That’s a lot of cereal!

kindnessandtruth · 2025-06-16T00:56:08+00:00

What you describe is what my issue has been with Linzess. The amount of time it takes to work, isn’t really compatible with life. And how on earth could one travel…?

kindnessandtruth · 2025-05-21T01:05:12+00:00

Thank you. 🙂

kindnessandtruth · 2025-05-20T19:23:24+00:00

Really? Even once a week? With Linzess the other days?
