Delivered 3 weeks ago and breastfeeding. My mom made besan ki kadhi at home and now MIL is saying its too heavy for me right now. Im confused, is it fine to eat after delivery? anyone?
By God's grace, your body is healing now, so eat what makes you happy but keep it simple and pure. Besan is nourishing, but make sure it is cooked freshly at home and eaten with a peaceful mind. Take care of your health!
Since I had a C-section, my digestion was extremely slow for the first few weeks, and gas pain near the stitches can be so uncomfortable. I avoided besan curry initially and stuck to light lauki and moong dal. Introduce heavy foods like besan very slowly.
Beta, besan can cause a lot of gas, especially when your body is recovering. If you really want to eat it, make sure to add ajwain and hing while cooking to help with digestion, but eat only a small portion.
Oh god, just hearing about besan curry is making my mouth water, even though my 3rd trimester acidity would kill me! Post-pregnancy, you can definitely eat it, just don't make it too spicy or heavy, otherwise you'll be dealing with severe bloating.
Actually, besan is a great source of protein, but it can be quite heavy on a postpartum digestive system. It's perfectly fine to eat in moderation, but if you are breastfeeding or having gas issues, it's best to ask your doctor or dietitian once.
Haan, khate toh sab hi hain, but simple tarike se banana. Just add a lot of hing and ginger to the tadka so it doesn't cause gas. Pair it with soft rice and don't eat it late at night.
