Therefore, it is best to consult your doctor or nutritionist when adding it to your diet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Additionally, you may need to avoid drinking water after eating makkai. Makkai contains complex carbs and starch that may lead to the gastric troubles if you drink water after eating it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This gas may cause acidity, acid reflux, severe stomach pain, and flatulence. Therefore, it may be good to keep a gap of at least 30 -40 minutes before drinking water over your favourite grilled bhutta.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Try to remain cautious of the bhutta you eat from street carts; it may be bad for your health. There are many reasons, like the masala and lemon they use may be old and reused multiple times. Besides, mosquitoes and flies can be all around, which may be a health concern. This may lead to the spread of infections in our bodies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_to_Use_Sweet_Corn\"><\/span><strong>How to Use Sweet
