If you have acidity or gas problem, then Amla can prove to be costly for you. Amla is quite sour, which can increase acid in the stomach.
This may increase problems like burning sensation, sour belching, pain or vomiting.
people with kidney stones
Oxalate is found in Amla. Excess oxalate can accumulate in the body and increase calcium oxalate stones.
people with diabetes
People with diabetes should decide the quantity of Amla only after consulting the doctor. Eating Amla can sometimes cause the blood sugar level to drop down very rapidly.
