Kinda gross subject but here we go.
I’ve had chia seeds; one teaspoon at the end of a protein shake daily for around a month. My stools are firmer; and I don’t rush for the loo first thing in the morning anymore. I also have to go less frequently; now once per day.
So for me, chia seeds were the cure to bowel irregularities.
Chia seeds add fibre to stools, and also draw in a lot of water. I imagine there are some beneficial chemicals in them too for gut bacteria. I’m so happy I found this solution.
