I love arbi ki sabzi and my mom made it today but then someone said avoid it in pregnancy coz of gas issues. Im in my second trimester. Anyone been eating it without trouble?
We eat colocasia (arbi) regularly at home and my amma made it often during my pregnancy too. Just cook it well so it doesnt cause itching or too much gas. In moderation it should be fine but do mention to your doctor if you have any tummy issues.
I had gestational diabetes so I had to be careful with arbi because its a bit starchy. I ate small portions and watched my sugar. If your sugar is normal it should be okay in moderation but ask your doc to be safe.
It is a common everyday vegetable, no harm in normal amounts. Just make sure its cooked properly because raw or undercooked arbi can irritate the throat. Keep variety in your meals and you are good.
