Is olipop safe for pregnancy?

Question

My sister is pregnant and was asking about healthier drink options. She saw Olipop and wondered if it's safe for her to drink during pregnancy.

I totally get how stressful it is to double-check every single drink when you are expecting. Olipop is generally considered a safer soda alternative because of its low sugar, but the root herbs in it made me nervous. Honestly, checking with your doctor is the only way to get peace of mind.

When I was pregnant, I used to crave carbonated drinks so badly! I occasionally had Olipop and it didn't cause any issues, plus the fiber actually helped with my pregnancy constipation. Just don't overdo it, stick to one can once in a while.

It is mostly safe because it doesn't have artificial sweeteners like aspartame. However, it contains chicory root and slippery elm bark which some doctors advise limiting during pregnancy. Keep it occasional and focus on drinking enough water.

The constant rules about what to eat during pregnancy can make you feel so exhausted and guilty. If having an Olipop makes you feel normal and happy, it is likely fine in moderation. Just take a deep breath and run it by your doctor at your next scan.

Sneha Sen · Answer

Yes, it is much better than normal sodas with high sugar. Just enjoy it occasionally and don't worry too much.

Please don't take any chances with herbal ingredients during pregnancy without consulting a professional. I once ignored warning labels on a health drink and my wife had severe stomach cramps that panicked us. Always get your gynaecologist's green light first.
