What side effects will test tube babies have when they eat yams?
IVF refers to an infant who transfers the fertilized egg into the mother's uterus after in vitro fertilization and culture through assisted reproductive technology. The nutrition intake of IVF is very important for its health and development. Some parents may hear that yam is good for health, so they want to give yam to test tube babies. However, in vitro baby eating yam will have some side effects.
1. Dyspepsia
Yam contains high dietary fiber, which is easy to cause indigestion if eaten too much. The digestive system of test tube babies is not fully developed, and excessive consumption of yam may burden their digestive system, leading to indigestion symptoms such as abdominal distension, abdominal pain, and anorexia.
In addition, yam also contains certain amylase inhibitor, which will inhibit the activity of amylase and interfere with the digestion and absorption of starch. The digestive system of test tube infants is not fully mature, and excessive intake of amylase inhibitors may affect their digestion and absorption of starch, thus affecting nutrition intake.
2. Allergic reaction
Yam is a common food allergen. Yam consumption by test tube babies may cause allergic reactions. Allergic reactions include skin itching, rash, dyspnea, vomiting and other symptoms, which can lead to anaphylactic shock in severe cases. The immune system of test tube babies is relatively weak, and they are highly sensitive to allergens. Therefore, when eating yams, special attention should be paid to possible allergic reactions.
If the test tube baby has a family history of allergy, or its physical quality is poor, and has other allergic diseases, the potential risk of eating yam is greater. When adding complementary food to the test tube baby, parents should pay attention to observe the allergic reaction, and if there is any discomfort, stop eating yam immediately and seek medical advice.
3. High milling sand content
The milling sand component in yam will affect the health of IVF to some extent. High dose of milling sand intake may cause damage to liver, kidney and other organs, especially when the liver and kidney functions of infants are not fully developed.
Some yams have poor quality control in the market. Pesticides, heavy metals and other harmful substances may remain during planting or processing. The impact of these harmful substances on IVF cannot be ignored. Parents should choose reputable hospitals and pharmacies to buy yams, and clean and process the ingredients.
4. Drug interactions
IVF may need to use some drug assisted reproductive technologies. Some drugs may interact with yam, affecting the absorption, metabolism and excretion of drugs. This may lead to reduced drug efficacy or increased adverse reactions.
Therefore, when test tube babies eat yams while using drugs, they should consult their doctors or pharmacists to see if there is a risk of drug interaction. The doctor will give reasonable diet guidance and medication suggestions according to the specific situation.
Summary
In vitro baby eating yam may cause indigestion, allergic reaction, sand milling problem, drug interaction and other side effects. When parents add complementary food to test tube babies, they should pay attention to the consumption amount and frequency of yams, and timely observe whether there are abnormal reactions. At the same time, select reputable hospitals and pharmacies to purchase yams, and ensure the cleaning and processing of yams. When IVF babies need to use drugs, professionals should be consulted to understand the relevant risks and suggestions, so as to ensure the healthy development of babies.
