Uncleaned food or contaminated food may cause a miscarriage if not attended right away. It may be considered a food poison.

Just wanted to ask why does shell food cause miscarriage? What is the reason behind it?

I think the reason for the shell food is that it is not easy to digest. Another is like you said maybe the shell is not properly cleaned. I know it is a case to case basis but we just have to be careful.

Some say spicy food causes miscarriage. I can't find any reason for such. Does anybody know why?

I miscarried because I ate some food that was not supposed to be eaten by a pregnant woman. My mother said that because I ate too much spicy food.

JUST FIND THIS FUNNY IN MY CASE BECAUSE ALL FOOD THAT I EAT MAY CAUSE MC. I HAD MC DUE TO OBESITY SO I THINK YOU GET MY POINT. GREAT POST HERE, VERY HELPFUL.

Food that are very bitter would also cause miscarriage. I heard that from my aunt who experienced such. Anyone who can confirm that?

I think bitter food like herbs if taken in abundance would result to induce abortion.

Raw foods are not safe to be eaten by a pregnant woman, like raw meat and eggs.

Kirsten- Spicy foods and hot foods would result to overheating that can cause miscarriage.

Hot foods would include pineapple, peanuts, papaya, and eggplant.

Food with too much caffeine can be harmful too and may cause miscarriage.

How much amount of caffeine is allowed during pregnancy?

It is encourages not to take anything with caffeine while pregnant but is not avoided caffeine intake should be limited to like one cup of coffee per day.

I see, but my food intake has not much problem with my pregnancy. I eat anything but sure it should be healthy food.

about the caffeine thing, are there instances that it is the main reason for the miscarriage?
