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.
