Is imli safe during pregnancy?

Question

I'm 8 weeks and craving imli so badly, like I just want to keep sucking on it all day. But my mom said too much is not good in pregnancy. is a little bit okay or should I totally avoid it?

Bharati Doshi · Answer

Imli is generally safe in small amounts, but if you have high BP or acidity issues like I did, too much sour food can trigger discomfort. Please consult your doctor if you feel any burning sensation.

I love eating sour things and keep wondering if imli is safe. Does it cause any throat infection or acidity during early weeks?

Of course! Imli is the official sponsor of pregnancy cravings, haha. Just don't eat the whole jar at once or your teeth will hurt!
