TikTok’s latest gut-guru hack promises to power-wash your intestines with a slimy chia-seed lemonade that looks like frog spawn and tastes like regret. Dr Karan Rajan, NHS surgeon and designated buzzkill, confirms it kinda works—chia’s fiber bulks your poop like a bouncer at an all-you-can-eat buffet—but warns that chugging unsoaked seeds can clog your pipes worse than holiday stuffing. Overdo the “internal drain cleaner” and you’ll trade constipation for a cramp-fest so intense you’ll pray for the sweet release of traffic. Pro tip: psyllium husk is the budget VIP; same flush, less wallet trauma.
