Can allergic reactions cause a miscarriage?

by admin
Filed under: allergic reactions 

My friend recently had a miscarriage. She blames it on the fact that she is allergic to chocolate and there was a good amount in some dessert she had, but she didn't know because it didn't look like it. Is this actually possible? Could her allergic reaction to chocolate cause a miscarriage?

Probably not. Miscarriages are caused by many things. If she were allergic to a medication or to fish or something, it could be a problem depending upon the severity of her allergy. Chocolate unless you are extremely allergic, causes skin breakouts. She needs to ask her doctor. How did she not know she was eating chocolate?
