Had chinese from outside yesterday and then started worrying because of the ajinomoto in it. Im 5 months. Is it really harmful for the baccha or im overthinking? now im scared to order again.
According to research, MSG is metabolized normally by our bodies, but my doctor advised limiting it. She said the high sodium in Chinese food can cause water retention and spike blood pressure. So, it's safer to enjoy it very rarely and in tiny amounts.
Ajinomoto or MSG in small amounts occasionally is generally fine, but it is best to avoid outside Chinese food which has too much of it. It can cause dehydration and bloating. If you ever feel severe stomach pain or swelling after eating, make sure to consult your doctor.
During my IVF journey, I was super cautious about everything I ate and completely avoided Ajinomoto. While a little bit might not harm, why take any stress when you are carrying your miracle? Try to eat fresh, home-cooked food as much as possible, dear.
It is better to avoid it as much as possible for these nine months. You can satisfy your cravings with simple home-cooked snacks instead. Take care of yourself and your little baby.
Yaar, actually a little bit of Chinese food once in a while won't hurt. But street food has a lot of MSG and is thoda unhygienic, so I avoided it during my pregnancy. If you are craving it, make some noodles at home with less salt!
With my thyroid, I already had a lot of water retention and swelling, so my doctor strictly asked me to avoid Ajinomoto and high-sodium foods. It’s always best to discuss your diet with your doctor during your regular checkups to see what suits your body.
Don't stress too much if you had a little bit of Chinese food by mistake, it is not poison! Just try to limit MSG now because it can make you super thirsty and bloated. If you are craving noodles, make them at home with fresh veggies!
