Chia Seeds + Oatmeal

I just got my hands on some chia seeds and wanted to cook it with some rolled oats. Should I soak it in water for 10 minutes then add it in or can I just cook it along with the oatmeal for like 3-5 minute. I’m just trying it out to see what changes in the taste cause I like oatmeal paired with different ingredients. (Also I just wanna generally avoid getting a stomach ache from preparing it wrong) submitted by /u/Sharp_Rice803
