I actually had boiled gegulu in my second trimester because I wanted native village snacks. Just make sure they are boiled very well at home, as roadside stalls can have unhygienic water.
I panicked after eating gegulu, worried if it was safe for the baby! But my gynac assured me that native palm sprouts are completely safe. Just drink plenty of water to help digest the fiber.
My elders say gegulu is very healthy and keeps the body cool. It seems safe for pregnancy if prepared cleanly, but maybe ask your doctor once if you have a sensitive stomach.
Yes, you can eat gegulu, they are rich in fiber and cooling. But avoid eating them raw or half-cooked. Boil them properly and eat in moderation to prevent gas.
During my IVF pregnancy, I was so careful about traditional foods. Gegulu is very safe and natural, but please make sure it is washed thoroughly and freshly boiled to avoid stomach issues.
My little one is a toddler now, but during my pregnancy, my MIL brought gegulu from Andhra. They are very nutritious but a bit heavy to digest, so don't eat too many at once.
