Restrictions and contraindications
All lovers of mushroom dishes should know that this product should not be abused. This applies not only to salted milk mushrooms, but also to any edible milk, no matter how they were prepared. The reason is that mushrooms contain a special protein - chitin, which is poorly digested by the body in large portions and, if overeated, can cause disruption of the gastrointestinal tract.
Mushrooms should be eaten in small portions of 150–200 g no more than 3 times a week. This also applies to salted milk mushrooms, which, by the way, it is in such portions that bring the greatest benefit to the body. Children under 12 years of age should limit their consumption, and possibly completely eliminate mushrooms from their diet, for the reason that their body is still quite weak to digest this product.
There are a number of diseases for which mushrooms in any form are contraindicated, namely:
- stomach and duodenal ulcers;

It's no secret that pregnant women are often drawn to salty foods and in most cases, canned food and pickles are targeted. Pickled mushrooms come out on top in this regard, thanks to their unique taste and aroma, complemented by spices. But expectant mothers need to be extremely careful.
Starting from the second semester, many pregnant women experience swelling of the limbs. Salted milk mushrooms in this case can further aggravate this condition. Based on this, we can conclude that expectant mothers better take care. The same applies to the lactation period, when harm can be caused not only to the mother, but also to the baby.
