My mom keeps giving me jaggery after meals saying its good for me, but i read somewhere to be careful in pregnancy so now im confused. Im in my first trimester. Anyone been told anything about this by their doc?
I had to be careful with jaggery because of my sugar, it raises levels just like sugar does. If your sugar is normal, a small amount is fine and even good for iron. But please dont assume its unlimited just because its natural.
Haan beta, gur is good, it has iron and we always gave it in small amounts. A little jaggery with food or in winter ladoos is fine. Just dont overeat since it is still sugar, and ask doctor if u have sugar issue.
Yes dear, gur in moderation is lovely, my mother added it instead of sugar in many things. Its gentler and has iron. Just keep the quantity small and balanced, and check with gynac if u have any diabetes concern.
