Chia seeds expand when in contact with moisture, which is fine if it happens in a bowl - in fact it's a great hydrator on that case - but less fine if it happens in your intensitinal tract. Also, inulin powder is a decent top up fibre source, low calorie, low carb, no sugar & some evidence it lowers blood glucose levels too. A teaspoon in your coffee or in water & it doesn't change the taste of anything. But maybe start with 5g to see how you go on as it can be extremely effective!</blockquote>
