I love dosa but everytime i eat it lately my stomach feels so bloated and gassy. Is it the fermented batter or just pregnancy gas? Anyone else faced this?
Oh totally, yaar! Fermented food can sometimes trigger crazy gas because our digestive system is already so sluggish right now. I had to reduce my dosa intake because of the bloating, but having it occasionally is fine.
I loved having dosas throughout my pregnancy and had a very healthy normal delivery, so it's fine! Just ensure the batter isn't too sour or old, as that causes more acidity and gas.
When you're already struggling with morning sickness, any extra gas can make you feel so much worse. If you really want dosa, try having a small portion of a simple, thin one without too much oil to keep it light on your stomach.
I once had terrible bloating after eating dosa and panicked thinking it was some pregnancy complication! But my gynac laughed and said it's just normal gas from fermented batter. Just drink thoda warm water after eating to feel better.
Oh no, don't say that, dosa is my absolute go-to craving! But honestly, fermented batter can sometimes cause a bit of gas. I still eat it, but I make sure to avoid highly spiced sambar and keep the chutney very mild.
Honestly, yes, especially if the batter is fermented for too many days or if you are eating greasy outside dosas. Try to make a thin, less-oily version at home for breakfast and see if it feels better.
Actually, fermented items like dosa can sometimes cause gas and bloating since digestion slows down during pregnancy. It's best to have it for breakfast or lunch rather than a heavy dinner, and make sure the batter is fresh.
