I have this habit of chewing saunf after meals, especially helps with my gas. Now that im pregnant i suddenly got worried whether its fine to continue. anyone know if its ok?
At home we always had a pinch of fennel after food and my amma told me its good for the stomach. In normal cooking amounts it should be okay. Just confirm with your gynac, she knows your full diet plan.
Normal use in cooking or a few seeds to chew, totally fine, i did it both pregnancies for gas. Dont start any strong fennel supplement or large quantities without asking though. Moderation is the key word.
Beta, a little saunf after meals to help digestion has been used in our homes forever and small amounts are usually fine. But dont go overboard or take it as some concentrated tea, just normal kitchen use. And do mention it to ur doctor to be safe.
Plain fennel seeds are fine, but i was careful with those sugary mouth freshener mixes that have candied stuff, because of my sugar levels. Stick to plain saunf and ask your doctor if youre on any special diet.
