I love the stuff you can get at good chinese and thai restaurants - i can eat whole tubs when most people eat only half a teaspoon. I can't find any research saying this will harm a growing child though - has anyone else heard anything?

What's in it? If uncooked flour there's a slight risk of tummy upset I think.
I doubt very much it's worth worrying about.

no flour - just tongue numbing chilli flakes, oil, fish sauce and concentrated prawn paste. like a chilli sambal

when i was pregnant with both mine i craved chili big time the hotter the better, my mum is from malaysia and she used to make me chilli sambal really hot, as well as that i always had sliced chillis with noodles and rice, and hot curries, my mum had loads of hot food when she was preg with me think that is why i love it so much.Don"t think there is any thing to worry about.....maybe just heartburn!!
