I love rajma chawal and used to eat almost every week. Now in my 2nd trimester someone said heavy rajma can cause too much gas n bloating. Is it actually fine to eat or should i avoid? pls tell.
I completely stopped eating rajma in my first trimester because someone told me it causes heat! Later my gynac laughed and said it's totally safe and healthy. So please don't panic like me, just eat moderate portions cooked at home.
Rajma is perfectly safe and actually a great source of plant protein and folate. Just soak it overnight and cook it thoroughly to prevent any indigestion or gas, which is already common in pregnancy. No medical reason to avoid it.
I am in my 2nd trimester and I eat rajma rice regular, but I always worry if the gas will cause cramps! Does anyone else feel super bloated after eating rajma? My doctor said it's safe but to eat in limit.
Of course it's safe, why wouldn't it be? It is rich in protein. Just don't eat it outside where it might be uncooked or unhygienic. Ghar pe bano, chew it properly, and enjoy with some rice.
Yes, rajma is totally safe and highly nutritious as it has protein and iron. Just make sure it is cooked really well to avoid gas. Since you need a proper diet, do keep sharing your food charts with your gynac during regular checkups.
Honestly, I ate rajma chawal almost every week during my pregnancy because of my crazy cravings! I didn't face any issues, but I always made sure it was home-cooked and well-boiled. It worked fine for me.
