Yes dear, ash gourd is highly cooling and filled with positive energy, so you can definitely have it. Just make sure to eat it fresh and stay happy and positive during your meals, it directly affects the baby's health.
In our family, we use ash gourd or kalyana pooshnikai a lot for sambar and curries during pregnancy. It is very safe, but my doctor advised me not to drink raw juice in large amounts if it causes throat irritation. Cooking it is always the safest option.
After my C-section, digestion was so difficult, but foods like cooked ash gourd really helped me keep my stomach light and healthy. You can safely have it while pregnant too, just make sure it's cooked properly so it is easy on your tummy.
Yes, you can surely eat ash gourd. It has great water content which is excellent for avoiding constipation during pregnancy. Just make sure to wash and peel it properly before cooking.
Of course you can have ash gourd, it is very good for hydration and digestion. I used to have its juice in small quantities during my summers. Just don't have it daily if you are prone to cold or cough, as it is very cooling.
Oh, that's interesting! I am planning my pregnancy now and compiling a list of safe veggies, so glad to know ash gourd is safe. Does anyone have a good recipe for it that isn't too spicy?
I had some severe complications in my pregnancy so I became very cautious with my diet. Ash gourd is generally safe when cooked, but if you have a sensitive stomach or are on specific medicines, please ask your gynac once before adding it to your diet.
