My MIL made arbi sabzi today and i love it, but suddenly i got doubt if its okay in pregnancy. Im in my 5th month. Some elders ghar pe say it causes gas and all so thoda hesitant. Anyone eating arbi during these months?
Commonly, colocasia is considered safe. It's a vegetable, after all. Just ensure it's thoroughly cooked to avoid any raw parts, and wash it well. If you have any digestive issues, then maybe avoid it, otherwise no need to stress.
Colocasia? Yaar, during my twin pregnancy, I was so hungry I think I ate everything that wasn't nailed down! Honestly, in moderation, most things are fine. Just make sure it's cooked properly and you don't overdo it. If it gives you gas, maybe skip it!
My doc said as long as it's cooked through and in moderation, it's fine. It's a good source of fiber, which helps with constipation too. Don't worry too much about every little food item unless your doctor specifically told you to avoid it. Just enjoy your meal!
Oh, I was just wondering this myself! I love colocasia, but my mother-in-law said something about it being 'garam' for pregnant women. Did anyone else hear this? I'm in my second trimester and really want to know if it's okay to eat a little bit.
Yes, colocasia is generally safe to eat during pregnancy as long as it's cooked well. It's actually nutritious. Some people worry about it causing gas or being 'heating', but that's mostly traditional belief. If you like it, have it in reasonable portions.
