1) If you have gas, bloating or digestive issues ~
Chia seeds are high in fibre, which can sometimes lead to bloating or discomfort, especially when eaten in large quantities or on an empty stomach.
2) People with low blood pressure ~
Chia seeds are naturally rich in alpha linoleic acid and potassium that lower your blood pressure and might leave you feeling dizzy or weak.
3) If you are allergic to sesame, mustard or flax seeds ~
There might be a slight chance of cross reaction with chia seeds. Watch out for signs like redness, itching or breathing issues.
4) If you have kidney issues ~
Chia seeds have phosporus and potassium that are not safe in large amounts. For most people, 1-2 teaspoons is enough. And remember, theyβre super absorbent, so be sure to drink plenty of water throughout the day to avoid any tummy troubles.
5) If you are on blood thinners ~
Too much omega-3 from chia seeds can make bleeding worse.
