Can this drink instantly relieve constipation? #shorts

Whenever I'm constipated I eat a papaya, it works like magic lol

I'm actually a GI dietitian and have worked with many patients with GI issues (diarrhea, constipation, bloating, etc.) so I was only trying this drink to see how it tasted, not to see whether it was effective (I go over the effect a drink like this can have at the end of the video).

Also, for those commenting about letting the chia seeds soak: I did let them soak for a few min until they had a gel-like consistency!

i love how you focus on whether it tastes good or not! i feel like with diet culture and things like cleanses, it never focuses on if the food is actually enjoyable to eat and only of whether it will clear you out or make you skinnier

Basil seeds!

They look very similar to chia seeds, but they help with acid reflux and constipation. They absorb water rapidly as well. They don’t need time to soak like chia seeds.

In my part of the world we add basil seeds to lemonades! Helps with digestion.

why did this video get suggested for me as I'm actively fighting for my life on the toilet

There was a PSA in my city because apparently some people choked by swallowing big clusters of chia just like that when they're just swelling up, they recommend giving them a stir, letting them hydrate first and then storing them one las time before drinking.

Also make sure your drinking plenty of water! Just eating fibery food without enough water can make your stool too bulky and hard you need water and fiber! Thanks for the videos ❤

When I was little my mom would put four prunes in a tall glass of water, you drink the whole glass then eat the prunes. Worked really well for me and I personally like prunes so it might be a good alternative for people. Don't eat more than four though...I ate like 10 once and my tummy was screaming.

I put it in yogurt. It's better that way. :)

I do some chia seed pudding with oat milk and coffee creamer and have that as a snack. It helps so much when I feel a little backed up down there lol

I like to make either chia pudding or make a big pitcher of iced green tea with tons of chia seeds, honey and fruits in it. I consume a lot of chia seeds regularly because I need more omega 3s, and they're a great source.

I work in a hospital and the common trick is coffee, butter and prune juice served warm.

Thank you for mentioning how this is too much for one person in one sitting and how it can cause GI issues! I see this kind of thing recommended all the time and I think about how much harm it would have done me when I had diverticulitis but didn’t know it yet!

[aspynk]

I always love how you give alternatives that are healthier and better solutions

[nanayi]

It might be a bit better if the chia seeds are soaked/have that jelly-like coating. Unsoaked chia seeds do not taste good 😵‍💫

[bryansoto]

Are all of you forgetting the greatest drink for constipation….COFFEE LOL literally always ready to go like 2 sips in 😭

[mariaprado]

Throw a handful of prunes in a small pot, cover w water n bring to boil, simmer down till reduced to abt half n the liquid has taken color. Eat the prunes, drink the water, and STAY HOME n wait

Yeah, my boss put two tablespoons in her morning smoothy and had to leave work early because she was so uncomfortable. From my own personal experience if my gut isn't used to a new dietary addition then it hates me the rest of the day.

[She.Follows.The.Sun.]

I like to let chia seeds gelatinize. I also like it in chocolate milk

[Mrs.Suchnso]

I don’t know that I’ve ever felt truly constipated, I’m just bloated a lot. I would do an internal shower anyway 😂 I am down for clearing out this entire operation!
