I'm looking for natural food options and someone suggested arrowroot. I wanted to know if it's safe to consume during pregnancy and if there are any benefits. Has anyone used it?
Please be very careful with what you eat, especially in the early days. While normal food amounts of arrowroot powder in gravies are usually safe, I would highly recommend asking your doctor first. After losing my first pregnancy, I realized it is always better to double check everything with the gynac.
Arrowroot is amazing for stomach heat and mild diarrhea, and I always prefer such natural home remedies. Just mix a little in warm water or milk. But remember, if u have severe stomach pain or loose motions, skip home remedies and call your doctor immediately.
I am currently breastfeeding my baby girl and still consume arrowroot in light puddings because it's so gentle on the tummy. Even during my pregnancy, my mom used to make arrowroot porridge when I had mild indigestion. It's safe and light, just keep it in natural food limits.
My little boy is a naughty toddler now, but during my pregnancy, I used to have arrowroot powder porridge for acidity. It was totally safe and really helped soothe my stomach. Just don't overdo it, keep it to moderate food amounts and you will be fine.
Actually, I have been reading up a lot on this because my husband and I are planning to start a family soon. From what I know, arrowroot is generally quite safe when used in regular cooking like as a thickener. But maybe we should confirm once with a gynac to be absolutely sure, na?
Dealing with PCOS made me super cautious about what I ate, so I researched arrowroot a lot. It is actually low glycemic and safe in normal kitchen quantities, which is great. Just don't consume it in huge medicinal doses without asking your doctor first, okay?
Oh babe, don't stress too much about small ingredients like arrowroot! It is just a simple natural starch and perfectly safe in normal food limits. I used to put it in my soups all the time, so relax and enjoy your meals.
