Hi,
I am 30 weeks pregnant and have been eating about 5-9 gms of fennel everyday for last 6-8 weeks. I was browsing the web and found that fennel can be harmful during pregnancy. Does any body have any more information about this. I am worried sick and would appreciate any information. thanks, Meena |

Does any body have any more information about this. I am worried sick and would appreciate any information. First of all, let me tell you that if fennel were truly harmful in the amounts you eat it, there would be significantly fewer Italians and Indians in the world. Secondly, a link for you to read: http://www.pdrhealth.com/drug_info/n...gs/101100.shtm l (or shortened to http://tinyurl.com/2gusw) The part you may be most interested in reads thus: Special Information If You Are Pregnant or Breastfeeding If you are pregnant, avoid any Fennel preparation other than the herb itself or Fennel tea. How To Prepare Crushed or ground Fennel seed can be made into a tea. Typical Dosage Fennel is taken orally. The usual daily dosage is: Fennel oil: 0.1 to 0.6 milliliters (about 2 to 12 d rops) Fennel seed: 5 to 7 grams (about 1 to 1-1/2 teasp oonfuls) So go have a big chunk of Italian sausage for me and enjoy yourself. --Threnody |

What I recall is that fennel can indeed be harmful, but it depends what
you are taking (root, leaves, seeds) and what for. As for me, I drink one cup of fennel tea a day, and will continue doing so, since it helps me enormously with morningsickness and IBS. It allows me to keep down food and liquid, the lack of which would be more harmful to the pregnancy than any of the effects fennel can have. -- -- I mommy to DS (19m) mommy to a tiny angel (Oct 2003) EDD October 1 guardian of DH (33) War doesn't decide who's right, only who's left |
