Is fetal toxicity related to eating spicy food? The truth turns out to be like this

Fetal toxins are an important reason why many babies develop rashes after birth. Many people believe that fetal toxins are caused by pregnant women eating spicy food during pregnancy. In fact, this statement is wrong. The production of fetal toxins has little to do with eating spicy food. On the contrary, the production of fetal toxins is related to the following 8 factors, which mothers must know.

1. Causes of fetal toxicity

1. The excretion of meconium is very slow and the enterohepatic circulation is not very rapid, which will aggravate the symptoms of jaundice.

2. If normal flora is not formed, bilirubin will flow from the bile duct to the intestine, and then be converted into feces and excreted from the body under the action of bacteria, causing jaundice to become more serious.

3. If the child is drinking breast milk, since the glucuronidase in the breast milk is very active, the absorption of bilirubin in the intestine will be stronger and the symptoms of jaundice will be aggravated.

4. VK medication can also make jaundice more severe, but this is less likely in children.

5. Some newborns have ABO blood type incompatibility, and their jaundice is related to the pathology of breast milk jaundice.

6. Intrauterine infection can also cause fetal toxicity, such as cytomegalovirus.

7. Abnormal thyroid function or certain genetic metabolic diseases.

8. Cold syndrome causes increased bilirubin in the body and abnormal transaminase levels.

The main symptoms caused by these factors are white stools and enlarged liver in children. Some parents may not know what white stool is. Some parents still think that the stool that can be clearly identified as white stool is yellow stool, which will aggravate the child's condition.

2. Methods to prevent fetal toxicity

1. The diet structure during pregnancy must be reasonable. Eat more foods and seasonal fruits that nourish the body, remove dryness and heat, nourish the lungs, and promote salivation. Eat less spicy, fried or very greasy food to ensure smooth bowel movements.

2. If the pregnant woman herself has an allergic constitution, she needs to go to a regular large hospital to find out her allergens and consult an expert to prevent the child from inheriting these allergens from the mother.

3. Pregnant women must have a regular life, combining rest and work to ensure the balance in the body and improve their own immunity.

4. Never take medicine blindly to remove fetal toxins. Some of the ingredients are not suitable for pregnant women and may be dangerous if used blindly, such as tortoise jelly and herbal tea.

5. Pregnant women should get enough sleep every day and maintain normal metabolism in the body.
