I crave imli so much these days, especially with rice and chutney. My mom says too much sour is not good but it helps my nausea thoda. Did anyone eat tamarind during pregnancy?
Tamarind is okay in small amounts as a flavouring agent. But remember, it can also contain natural sugars. If you have gestational diabetes, just be mindful of how much you're consuming overall and discuss your diet with your doctor or dietician.
I actually craved a lot of sour things, including a bit of tamarind sometimes, especially in my first trimester! My doctor said a small amount in food is fine, but not to overdo it as it can sometimes cause acidity. So, moderate is key.
My doctor mentioned that tamarind in small, culinary amounts is generally safe and won't cause harm. It's even a source of some vitamins. However, large quantities or supplements are not recommended due to potential effects on blood clotting. So, a little in your sambar is okay.
Oh god, with two babies, I just ate whatever didn't make me want to throw up! A little tamarind in my dal was fine, but I wouldn't go munching on raw pods, haha. Everything in moderation, especially when you're feeding two tiny humans.
I totally understand why you'd ask about every single food! It's so sweet how much you care for your baby. From what I know, small amounts of tamarind used in cooking are generally fine. But if you have any doubts, please ask your doctor, they will reassure you.
Tamarind? My cravings are all over the place, but haven't hit tamarind yet, thankfully. I guess a little bit in your food won't hurt, but if it's super sour, it might trigger heartburn, which I definitely don't need right now, ugh.
After my previous experience, I was extremely cautious with everything. My gynac advised me to avoid anything too sour or spicy, just to be safe. So, while a little bit of tamarind might be okay, I personally avoided it and would suggest checking with your doctor.
I felt really confused about what was safe to eat. My MIL said too much tamarind is not good, it can cause problems. I decided to mostly avoid it, just to be on the safer side, because my baby's health was my top priority.
