For occasional...: For occasional constipation, many people find help by using over-the-counter laxatives such as milk of magnesia, miralax, (polyethylene glycol) senokot, etc... If symptoms persist or are worrisome, a primary care doctor can evaluate. Chronic or repeated episodes of constipation may be signs of a more serious problem.

Hydrate with Water.: Chia seeds contain 11 grams of fiber. So you must hydrate well when you eat them.
