Dr. Zhang Jianhai
During early pregnancy, consuming blood-activating foods—such as lychee, longan, donkey-hide gelatin (ejiao), and Chinese chives—may increase the risk of miscarriage. Similarly, ingesting excessively cold, raw, or spicy foods—such as crab or other cold-natured seafood—may also elevate miscarriage risk. Other foods associated with increased miscarriage risk include scallions, ginger, garlic, chili peppers, lamb, fennel, hawthorn, longan, apricot kernels, black fungus (wood ear), pork liver, and soft-shelled turtle.
