My MIL keeps giving me barley water saying its good for me but i read somewhere its better to avoid some grains in pregnancy. Im in second trimester. Bit confused now, is it actually fine to have?
Barley is fine in normal food amounts yaar, it's just a wholesome grain. I had barley water sometimes and it was fine. Just don't go overboard with anything.
Barley water was something my mother in law made for me and it's quite cooling. It's a healthy grain in normal amounts. Still, I'd check with your doctor if you have any specific condition.
It's a nice natural option and good for digestion. I had it occasionally without issues. As long as it's part of a balanced diet you're good, but ask your doctor if unsure.
