I ran into a weird situation with a group of friends last night. One of my buddies is turning his life around for the better (quitting certain vices etc) and decided to go vegan in order to help detox his body.

We noticed he kept shifting around in his seat for most of the night and finally asked him if he'd like a different seat. That's when he explained that ever since he started adding chia seeds to his food, he gets them "stuck" in/around his butthole to where it's very uncomfortable. I've never heard of this before, but I found it pretty funny.

He explained that it was like having a hair that's stuck in your clothing either poking or tickling you randomly to the point of annoyance. So queue everyone telling him to wipe his ass better. And he said that sometimes the seeds get stuck right inside the opening of his butthole or will squeeze out and sit outside of his butthole when he's in a meeting or driving.

Either way, never heard this complaint before and makes me not want to eat chia seeds

Well...Guess that's enough internet for the day.

What's the point of eating chia seeds if they pass through you undigested?

If you were a rabbit, at least you'd be distributing them around to propagate more chia plants.... amIright????

I used to always drink those Mama Chia drinks, its a chia seed drink that is very tasty. I never had this issue

I was vegan for a good amount of time and ate lots of chia seeds. I never had this problem and I never heard of anyone else complain of such a thing. Not saying it doesn't happen, I just never heard of it.

However, a hardcore vegan diet will give you unbelievable gas. Fortunately, clean vegan gas is mostly odorless so you can pretty much fire at will, even when you're in a crowd. I'm guessing you're friend was shifting his weight in order to do a one cheek sneak and release some of that gas without sounding off at full volume. Much like you would do with a vintage tube amp, he was attenuating his asshole to get his farts down to more acceptable room volume.

Maybe he has worms, or his anal glands need draining

As a fellow dog owner, I thought of the latter as well

Surprisingly, I think he's off smoothies now, because he said his last one ran right through him. Only thing he did different was let the blender run a little longer to break up the seeds. He thinks he's getting too much fiber.

Who knows, just a silly story that I thought y'all would find amusing.
