NHS Surgeon's Chia Seed Warning for IBS: Pro Tips for Safe Consumption
•
NHS surgeon Dr. Karan Rajan advises gradual introduction of chia seeds for "fiber naive" individuals to avoid digestive issues.
•
Start with one teaspoon daily, increasing slowly to two tablespoons over 1-2 weeks to allow gut bacteria to adapt.
•
Though two tablespoons are low FODMAP, some IBS sufferers, especially those with IBS-D, may experience bloating due to gel formation.

•
Pro tip: Grind chia seeds to make them easier for gut bacteria to ferment, potentially reducing discomfort.
