Had soan papdi yesterday and after that mera pet was full of gas the whole night. now im wondering if its the mithai or just normal pregnancy gas. anyone else gets bloated after sweets?
Yes, actually! Soan papdi is made of besan and maida, which are notorious for causing gas and bloating because digestion is super slow right now. During my pregnancy, my thyroid levels made my digestion even more sluggish, so I had to be very careful. Keep your routine doctor follow-ups regular and mention any severe bloating to them.
Yes, the high sugar, ghee, and maida in soan papdi can definitely upset your stomach and cause heavy gas. I had some severe gastric issues that triggered early contractions during my complicated pregnancy, so I suggest avoiding such heavy sweets. If your gas is accompanied by stomach pain, please contact your doctor immediately.
Haan bilkul, soan papdi besan aur maida se banti hai jo pet me bhaari-pan aur gas karta hai. Thoda sa khaya toh chalta hai, par jyada mat khana. Agar gas ho jaye toh thoda gunguna pani pi lo, aaram milega.
It can definitely cause gas because maida and besan take forever to digest when you're pregnant. The simple solution is to limit it to just a tiny bite if you have a craving. Drink some warm ajwain water or take a short walk inside the house after eating sweet things to help with the digestion.
Honestly, soan papdi is loaded with refined sugar, maida, and fats, which will not only cause massive gas but can also spike your blood sugar levels. Having had gestational diabetes myself, I highly recommend avoiding such heavy, processed sweets entirely. Opt for fresh fruits or plain curd instead if you are craving something sweet.
