How To Make Chia Gel – Recipe

Ingredients:

1/3 cup chia seeds
2 cups water

Instructions:

Put the chia seeds and the water into a jar with a tight-fitting lid, such as a Mason jar. Make sure the lid is properly closed.

Shake it up until the seeds are blended with the water. Now what you need to do is…

…Let the jar sit for a minimum of 10 minutes before you start eating the gel. Shake it again or open the jar and whisk the contents before eating. You don’t have to do this every time you eat it – just do it this one time as part of the preparation of the chia gel.

Some people like to leave the gel anywhere from half an hour to overnight before they use it, as they believe this increases the nutrient value of the gel.

Once your chia gel is ready, STORE IT IN THE FRIDGE. It will keep for several days. I’ve read that it keeps for 2 weeks, but I like to use it within 4 – 5 days.

Dry chia seeds do not need refrigeration.

For a smoother gel:

Use the same ingredients but, before mixing the water and chia, grind the seeds into a powder in a clean coffee bean grinder.

How much should I eat?

There is a lot of nutrition in a small amount of chia, so you only need to eat one tablespoon at a time. On average, a typical amount to consume is anywhere from one to four tablespoons of chia gel a day.

At the same time, it’s okay to eat as much chia gel as you want (since it’s so concentrated, you’re unlikely to overdo it.) If you have diarrhea or have been vomiting, you may need higher doses to help restore your health. Athletes, too, need more nutrients so would eat more.

If you’re dieting or you have hunger pangs because your foods are limited by wonky digestion, eat 1 – 3 spoonfuls of chia gel any time you need it or before a meal to aid digestion and keep blood sugar levels even.

Which is better? Black or white?

There are both black and white chia seeds. According to Dr. Wayne Coates, a research scientist who is arguably the top chia educator in the world, the white chia is no different than the black. It does NOT contain more nutrients and may simply be more expensive.

More help for IBS:

Hi. We are Karen Alison and Kathy Raymond and we help people self-heal their IBS naturally, with a doctor-recommended method that addresses the least-recognized aspect of this hellish condition – the way the brain triggers uncontrollable symptoms in the gut.

IBS is a lot like having PTSD (also once believed to be untreatable) because of the way your brain and nervous system are triggered to produce gut symptoms. But, in a few short sessions, you can learn how to retrain your brain so you shut down the neural pathways that lead straight to diarrhea, constipation, bloating, gas, and anxiety.

If you don’t deal with this underlying root cause of your problem, you’ll have to spend the rest of your life at the mercy of your Irritable Bowel… and it usually gets worse.

But you can make it stop NOW. Just click on this link for more information and follow the instructions to access the program.

  2. My mother is housebound from IBS, and I am rapidly getting to the same position. All help to avoid such a life is appreciated!

  3. Just discovered the effectiveness of Chia. I am amazed. This may well mean that rinitidine and the PPI are redundant for me !Thank God I found it.

  4. [quote]Would chia help with diverticulitis and IBS?[/quote]With IBS, yes, because of the soluble fiber. With diverticulitis, I think you also need to look at food sensitivities. Even though I’ve been told by a relative who is a physician that food is nothing to do with the digestive tract, you have to wonder where all that impacted stuff comes from. Anything that helps move it along is useful.The natural health researchers whose books I read tend to agree that grains, dairy and sugar are the big dietary culprits in diverticulitis. So chia could help but you will likely need to do more than that.

  7. Hi Alice,I hope you are not relying on chia alone to help with your health conditions. Research has clearly shown that diabetes (Type 2) and high blood pressure are linked to a diet that is high in carbohydrates, especially refined carbohydrates. In addition to following a healthy diet, Kathy and I have also found that EFT tapping helps with the stresses that can impact blood pressure. To see a tapping video, look at the articles about Anxiety on this site.

  11. Hi Collette,You can use either – doesn’t matter. The ground seeds will give you a finer textured gel, that’s all. Some people like to make it into a pudding with mashed banana or other fruit.
