my saas forbade me from eating imli saying it causes throat infection, but my own mom said thoda sa craving satisfies the soul. i ate small portions secretly and it was totally fine!
we use tamarind daily in our rasam and sambar, so it is absolutely fine. my mother-in-law says it helps with morning nausea too. just don't eat raw imli with too much salt as it can increase blood pressure.
oh my god, just reading the word imli makes my mouth water! is it actually safe to eat? i am planning to conceive soon and would love to know if i can indulge in tangy cravings.
i used to keep small sweet-sour imli candies in my office desk for quick nausea relief during meetings. it really works instantly. just make sure to buy hygienic brands to avoid stomach infections.
i literally survived my first trimester on imli candy because of horrible nausea. it was the only thing that kept me from throwing up. just don't overdo it or u might get severe throat pain or acidity.
imli is great for mild nausea, but don't eat too much of it daily. if you have heavy vomiting or can't keep food down, please don't rely only on sour foods, check with your gynac.
having a little bit of tangy imli is absolutely fine for taste. it can actually help with digestion and iron absorption. just balance it with lots of water.
