Does eating konjac while breastfeeding cause milk to decrease?

Patient's question:

I am a 24-year-old woman, and I have been breastfeeding my child since birth. My milk supply was already not very abundant, so I pay close attention to my diet to avoid milk regression. Therefore, I would like to know if consuming konjac during breastfeeding can lead to milk regression.

Doctor's answer:

The Konjac contains sixteen kinds of amino acids, ten kinds of trace elements of minerals, as well as grape GOS, etc., so it is a very good health and nutritional food. Suggestions: In the data, it was not found that eating Konjac during lactation would increase milk production or affect the baby's growth and development, so it is okay to eat Konjac during lactation. However, because Konjac has a strong sense of fullness, it may affect bowel movements in nursing mothers with poor appetite. It is recommended to eat less or not to eat to avoid affecting milk production.
