Im craving imli like crazy these days, mouth waters just thinking about it haha. But my saas said avoid it in pregnancy. Is it actually fine to eat or should I really stay away?
Yes, it's safe to satisfy your sour cravings with a little tamarind. Just make sure to discuss your overall diet and salt intake with your doctor during your regular thyroid follow-ups.
I asked my hospital nutritionist about cravings like tamarind. She said small amounts are perfectly fine, but avoid street-side chaat to prevent infections. Always check with your healthcare team if you are unsure.
You can have a little tamarind, but be careful if you are eating sweet imli chutneys as they have high sugar content. If you have gestational diabetes, track your blood sugar closely and avoid sweet sauces.
Tamarind is safe in small amounts, but please don't eat too much of it. If you have any history of stomach issues or high blood pressure, it's always safer to check with your doctor first.
I know how scary it is to worry about everything you eat, I was the same! Yes, you can have tamarind in moderation, it actually helps with nausea. Just don't overeat it to avoid acidity.
