Learn who should avoid eating sabudana during their fast

Digestive problems: According to the National Library of Medicine, if you have digestive problems, sago may worsen these problems. This is because sago contains a slightly high amount of zinc. This can cause problems like bloating, constipation, nausea, stomach pain, and vomiting. It also contains a high amount of fiber, which can cause constipation.

Diabetes problems: According to the National Library of Medicine, people with diabetes should avoid eating sago. Furthermore, sago is high in carbohydrates, which can cause blood sugar levels to rise rapidly. Avoid eating sago, especially if you also have high blood pressure.

Low blood pressure: If your blood pressure is consistently low, you should avoid eating sago. This is because sago contains a slightly high amount of potassium, which can further lower blood pressure levels. If your blood pressure is already low, it can make the problem worse. If you are taking blood pressure-controlling medications, consult your doctor before eating sago.

Obesity: If you are overweight and following a weight-loss diet, avoid eating sago. Sago is rich in carbohydrates and high in calories. Therefore, eating sago during a fast could increase your weight.

Kidney problems: People with kidney problems should also avoid eating sago. Especially if you have kidney stones, you should avoid sago at all. Sago contains high amounts of calcium, which can lead to kidney stones and other problems.
