Treatment for constipation caused by chia seeds?

Flush thruough fiber: Please flush through with lots of fluids, which can be critical to prevent constipation, and a good fiber laxative will help promote motility of the colon to help expel the seeds.....Perhaps MiraLAX (polyethylene glycol) (available over the counter) would help clear the colon.

You must hydrate: Well. An ounce of chia seeds contain 11 grams of fiber. This means that if you don't hydrate well enough that you can become constipated.
