My MIL adds hing in almost everything and says its good for gas and digestion which i do struggle with these days. But i wasnt sure if its safe in this amount during pregnancy. Anyone know about this?
Beta, a tiny pinch of hing in cooking for gas is what we always did, it's normal in everyday dal and sabzi. Just dont take it in large medicinal amounts. For the small cooking pinch I never worried, but ask the doctor before anything extra.
A normal cooking pinch for gas is generally fine. I'd avoid loading up on it as a home remedy though. If you have persistent tummy issues, better to mention it to your doctor.
We add a little hing to our food daily for digestion and that's quite normal. It's only big quantities or remedies that elders say to be careful with. Cooking amounts were fine for me, but confirm with your gynac if unsure.
