Healthy evening
Poha is best eaten at breakfast, as it is a good source of carbs . Carbohydrates are your body primarily energy source , eating poha in the morning can help you stay energised all day . Add in poha lots of veggies so improve fibre .
Poha is food that is consumed regularly many people it doesn’t have any side effects.however too much of food can affect body negatively. So, ensure that you can take poha in reasonable quantities.

It depends on the way of preparing it and the way you consume it.
Poha after processing has some amounts of iron. It's better to consume it with lemon water (vitamin - C) for its absorption
Next Steps
Eating it empty stomach maybe causing an issue of flatulence
Its better to drink 1-2 glasses of fennel seeds water in the morning
Health Tips
Keep a track of everyday meal that you consume in order to have a better idea of gut issue
