How Long Should One Be Careful About Falling Ill After Eating Shellfish Ceviche At 7th Month Of Pregnancy?
Question: My wife ate ceviche last night and she’s 7 months pregnant. I just realized that the curing process doesn’t kill bacteria. What should we look out for and how long until she’s in the clear of any danger?
Brief Answer:
She needs to be careful for next 4-5 days.
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Shellfish ceviche can be risky during pregnancy as it makes you more prone to have a food poisoning. She needs to have a bland easy to digest food for next 4-5 days. You need to watch out for stomach ache, nausea, vomiting, loose stools and headache during next few days. Try to avoid a non vegetarian food and have more of healthy food for next few days. Increase your fluid intake also.
I hope this answers your query.

Wishing you good health.
