    Looks like I'm way too late in seeing this post but I don see any harm in using hing, in fact it was suggested by another preggy friend of mine that having butter milk with hing/asafoetida powder helps in clearing tummy pain, especially the ones caused due to gas and it works wonderfully with me. Its the safest a pregnant woman can do to help get rid of her gas/tummy problems and is safe enough unless you want to dump spoonfuls which no one will do I guess.

    interesting point. I always put hing in oil till its a bit cooked. I havn't eaten it raw. For gas and all, I use aijwain seeds. I roast 1 tsp of aijwain and 1/2 tsp of jeera...and grind it. I generally eat it once in two days...so its working fine for me.
