1. Do not eat high-fat foods

Eat less cakes and fried dough sticks with high fat content, and avoid sausages, bacon, ham, kebabs and other foods with high saturated fatty acid content. They will burden the stomach and intestines, aggravate diarrhea and prolong the course of the disease; at the same time, the carcinogenic nitrosamines and other oxidation products contained in processed meat products are also harmful to the damaged digestive tract.

2. Do not eat high-fiber foods

Fresh fruits and vegetables such as watermelon, grapefruit, citrus, celery, spinach, etc. contain a lot of cellulose, which will accelerate intestinal peristalsis, thereby aggravating diarrhea, increasing the intestinal burden of pregnant women, and hindering their recovery.

3. No sweets

Sugary foods can easily cause bloating. During diarrhea, pregnant women's digestive ability has been weakened. If they eat candy, chocolate, desserts and other high-sugar foods, the sugar will ferment in the intestines and aggravate bloating, which is not good for the condition.

4. Don’t eat too much high-protein food

High-protein foods such as eggs and minced meat are easily fermented and spoiled in the intestines where intestinal function is already disordered, aggravating diarrhea. The digestive ability of pregnant women is weakened during diarrhea, so they should eat less of these foods to prevent worsening diarrhea.

5. Do not eat cold food

Overcold foods such as ice cream, cold dishes, and cold drinks will stimulate the gastrointestinal tract, speed up gastrointestinal motility, and make diarrhea symptoms more severe. Therefore, pregnant women must not touch these foods when they have diarrhea.

6. Do not eat laxative and intestinal foods

Foods such as bananas, honey, and sesame seeds are all good at moisturizing the intestines and promoting bowel movements, but they are not suitable for pregnant women with diarrhea, otherwise they will speed up intestinal peristalsis, thereby aggravating diarrhea symptoms and being extremely detrimental to the condition.

7. Do not drink milk or soy milk

Milk contains lactose, which is digested by lactase secreted by cells on the brush border of the small intestinal mucosa. When the intestine is inflamed, this layer of cells is damaged, so the body is temporarily unable to secrete lactase. If lactose cannot be broken down, it will irritate the intestines, aggravate symptoms such as dehydration and diarrhea, and cause flatulence in the large intestine. In addition, the oligosaccharides contained in soy milk will promote intestinal peristalsis, which is not suitable for patients with diarrhea.

1. In the early stage of diarrhea, it is best to eat some liquid food, such as thick rice soup, thin lotus root powder, degreased broth, light tea, filtered juice, etc.

2. After the condition improves, you can eat some semi-liquid food, such as noodles, noodles, rice porridge, steamed egg custard, etc. In addition, you should also pay attention to eating small meals frequently; the food temperature should not be too cold, otherwise it will cause intestinal peristalsis.

3. Diarrhea will cause a certain amount of nutritional loss in the body. Therefore, it is best to choose foods that can supplement nutrition and have little irritation to the intestines. Common cereals include: porridge, rice porridge, steamed food with leavened dough, bread, soft noodles, noodles, etc.; eggs: except for fried eggs, other methods are OK; meat: tender lean meat, chicken, fish, shrimp, it is best to cook them soft and rotten; beans: soy milk, tofu; vegetables: vegetables with low fiber content, such as peeled carrots, potatoes, pumpkins, winter melons, eggplants, loofahs, etc., but remember, they must be cooked before eating; desserts: biscuits, lotus root starch, cakes, etc.
