Paneer causes constipation - #3749
I’ve recently started eating more paneer as part of my diet for protein, but I’ve noticed that my digestion has been off lately. I’ve been feeling bloated and constipated, and I’m beginning to wonder if paneer causes constipation. Does anyone know if paneer is hard to digest or if there’s a way to eat it that minimizes these issues? From what I understand, paneer is made from milk, which can sometimes aggravate vata dosha and lead to digestive problems like constipation. Is this true for everyone, or could it be specific to my body type? Are there Ayurvedic remedies or herbs that can help improve digestion while continuing to eat paneer, such as adding ginger or black pepper? If paneer causes constipation, are there alternatives for high-protein foods that are easier on digestion? I’m also curious if drinking more water or eating it with specific side dishes, like vegetables, can make a difference. If anyone has had similar issues, how did you manage them? Did you reduce your paneer intake, or were there adjustments that helped? I’d love any advice on balancing my diet while keeping my digestion healthy.
