Hi Tall52,
How long has you used this menthod? Does this way last long?
Do you feel full when consuming a large amount of chia seed ?

Chia, pineapple, Hawiian papaya and kiwi are magic plants for constipation.

Hi Tall52 and NinaS,

I have been using chia seeds for 3 months. The results have been good so far. I don't need to eat other kinds of fiber during my meals a day, I only drink chia seeds. The way I use chia seed is that I soak a tablespoon of ground chia seeds in 250 ml of fresh milk (you can use water instead). I drink this mixture 3 times day. I have tried many things but only this way can get perfect results. The matter is that I feel a little full when consuming such large amount of chia seeds.

As I have experienced, 1 or 2 tablespoons don't work. The right amount work for me is 3 tablespoons or over 3tsp.

Vegetable, especially green leaves don't work. It doesn't matter how much I consume, even with a small amount or a medium or a big amount of green leaves don't work at all.

Another things that I found good for me is that:
+Pineapple, (I have to consume half or over 1/4 a pineapple a day)
+Avocado (1 avocado a day also works well for me)
+Kiwi (also work , about 2 kiwis a days, but kiwis are expensive where I live, so that I rarely eat them).

I just no need to eat another kinds of fiber during a day if that day I have a half of pineapple or 1 avocado, or 2 kiwis.

Fresh meal is fine with me, but formula milk (like Ensure) cause constipation, although I like to drink Ensure.

Above are just my experiences I want to share with you. I hope it helps. English is not my mother tongue, so that my wording in this post might sound weird

Large and very large meals can help with constipation so eating along with the 6 tablespoons unground then ground fresh, 3 tbs twice at the same time should create a pretty large amount of bulk in the stomach.

Yes, maybe we don't eat enough food to bulk the stools to pass the the colon. But I don't think I don't eat enough, I just have a normal meal as other people.
I have to soak chia seeds because it will get tender and I can swallow easily.

The RIGHT AMOUNT is very important. For example, in a day, I have consume one of these amount of fibers as below (of course remember to consume at least 1 lit of water per day, to me 1 lit is enough) :

+3 tablespoons of chia seeds.
+Bananas help but I also consume a big amount ,up to 5 medium bananas a day to get a good result.
+ Figs (from Taylor brand), I have to consume up to 4 big figs of this brand to get a good result.
+Seaweeds aslo help but with a big amount as well.

Saltwater flush and magnesium only cause diarrhea to me.
