Everyone in my family keeps telling me to avoid papaya completely but i love it yaar. is it only the raw one thats a problem or all papaya? wanted to hear from others who actually had it.
In our home also raw papaya was always avoided during pregnancy. I checked with my doctor and she said same. Mango, banana, pomegranate enjoy those instead.
Same doubt I had! I love papaya. My gynac said ripe one occasionally is fine but raw one is a no. So now I only eat the proper ripe sweet one in small bits.
Just steer clear of raw papaya dear, no need to risk it when there are so many other safe fruits. If you ever have doubts about any food, your doctor is the best person to ask.
My MIL was very strict about this, no kachcha papaya at all. She wasnt wrong, even my doctor said avoid raw papaya. So I just skipped it the whole time.
