Question 1

can i eat pani puri and hajmola during pregnancy?

Accepted Answer

Panipuri: Maintaining an appropriate weight during pregnancy is very important. Find your target weight in this link: http://www.babycenter.com/pregnancy-weight-gain-estimator.  During pregnancy, you really don't need to eat for two. Only about 200-300 extra calories are needed during the last months of pregnancy. A serving of panipuri contains anywhere from100 to 450 calories. Use Tums (calcium carbonate) instead of Hajmola.

Question 2

is it safe to eat hajmola in pragnancy?

Accepted Answer

Most likely but...: Like most herbal remedies (and medicines) there has been no research on the safety of hajmola in pregnancy but the main ingredients are commonly eaten herbs and spices: cumin, black pepper, ginger and long pepper. To the best of my knowledge none of these are thought to be unsafe to eat during pregnancy so as far as known it should be fine; but best to limit all medicines in early pregnancy.

Question 3

is extract and/or elderberry safe during pregnancy?

Accepted Answer

Insufficient studies: There aren't enough studies to reliably answer. One study reviewing side effects in pregnant women using botanical supplements, showed 1 woman taking elderberry had GI distress -- out of 150 general surveys completed.  http://tinyurl.com/m5q9g37  use of a combination product containing elderberry showed no increase in fetal malformations:  http://tinyurl.Com/mkqss5n  be safe and avoid for now.

Question 4

i'm wondering is grapefruit seed extract and/or elderberry safe during pregnancy?

Accepted Answer

No, they're not: Elderberry so far has insufficient studies of pregnant women using it to determine safety to fetuses. German studies of grapefruit seed extract, have shown 5 out of 6 products to be adulterated with benzethonium chloride, a synthetic antimicrobial often used in cosmetics, as well as the preservatives triclosan and methylparaben. Topical use on nail fungus, etc may be okay, but don't use internally.
