Hello,

Was not sure of posting this in the main forum. Has anybody tried supplementing with Chia Seeds. How does it work for AS. I think it can also be pretty helpful with non-starch diet as you feel full and tend to have more energy. Not sure about the starch content though.

Would be interesting to read your views and experiences.

Peace.

I love chia seeds, and eat them all the time! Super filling, great energy, and I consider them starch free.


I'm now a KICK AS (and Kick IBD) success story!! After going low starch Paleo to heal my gut, I can now eat nearly all starches, grains & foods without inflammation, flare-ups, or pain. I used a modified SCD diet approach (minus dairy! plus cacao ♥). Cheers to healing & thriving again! I blog at http://www.forestandfauna.com/about/

I eat them too, I haven't tested them but I don't seem to react to them (however I'm LSD more than strict NSD). They're meant to have a lot of health benefits and they are quite versatile.
I use them in baking, or in a chia seed pudding that i'll have for breakfast (recipe from Bettyrawker) basically mix almond milk, grated coconut, chia seeds, honey, cocoa powder and some berries. I personnally heat it up in a small pan, the seeds absord some of the liquid and you end up with a porridge like type of hot filling breakfast. Or I do the same but instead of cocoa and berries i put mashed (very ripe bananas) or homemade applesauce and cinammon and vanilla.

Unfortunately they give me alot of gas. I am currently trying to follow the Autoimmune Paleo diet and seeds of any kind are not allowed.
