Pregnant woman farts

My stomach is rumbling and I feel like I'm going to fart soon. It's really embarrassing. However, for pregnant women, farting is actually a normal phenomenon, but it seems not good to just ignore it. Stinky farts mostly represent digestive problems, such as bloating, indigestible food, etc. So, how can pregnant women who often fart smelly?

In order to improve the symptom of pregnant women always farting, pregnant women should first understand the causes of this situation, and then carry out symptomatic treatment and intervention in daily life. During pregnancy, the metabolism of growth hormone will affect the gastrointestinal digestion and absorption function.

In addition, as the fetus gradually grows, it will directly press on the woman's gastrointestinal tract, thus affecting the gastrointestinal motility, hindering normal digestion, and causing pregnant women to fart frequently.

Pregnant women should eat small meals frequently to reduce the workload in the stomach, thereby promoting the function of digestion and improving the absorption of nutrients. Generally, it is recommended that women eat about 6 to 8 times a day during pregnancy, and do not eat too much during meals.

In addition, some foods rich in cellulose should be added to the diet. These foods can help defecate and reduce the accumulation of toxins in the body. In addition, you should drink more warm water during your daily life, so that your body can maintain sufficient water and avoid constipation.

Foods that cause bloating should also be eaten less. These foods are not only difficult to digest, but also easily turn into bubbles in the stomach and intestines, which leads to frequent occurrence of smelly farts.

Eat more digestive foods during pregnancy

1. Eat something bitter to promote digestion

Pregnant women can eat some eggplant during pregnancy, because eggplant can stimulate the secretion of saliva and gastric acid, promote gastrointestinal motility, which is beneficial for improving digestion and promoting appetite. At the same time, the vitamin C it contains is much higher than that of ordinary melon vegetables, which can enhance the immunity of pregnant women.

Eggplant is cool in nature, so pregnant women with weak spleen and stomach should not consume it in excess. For pregnant women who like salty food, it means that their appetite changes during pregnancy. It doesn't matter if they like strong tastes in their diet, but they must pay attention to not taking too much salt. If you can't stand the bitter taste, you can cut the eggplant and put a small amount of salt in it before cooking, and filter out the juice. (Can pregnant women eat bitter melon?

Warm reminder: There are reports that eggplant contains quinine, which may cause miscarriage, so pregnant women should avoid eating eggplant. However, nutritionists believe that eggplant does contain trace amounts of quinine, but because the water content is very small, it is not likely to have a significant adverse effect on pregnant women.

2. Pregnant women drink some pure honey to promote digestion

Honey can promote digestion, increase appetite, calm down and help sleep, enhance the body's resistance, and has a positive effect on promoting the growth of babies. Pure honey contains basically all the nutrients found in fruits and vegetables. Drinking 3-4 tablespoons of honey every day in winter can not only supplement nutrients but also ensure smooth bowel movements.

Pure honey is also a natural beauty and skin care product. As a skin care agent, regular external application can directly nourish the epidermis and dermis of the skin, promote cell regeneration, and improve the metabolic capacity of the skin.

3. Black rice is the most digestible food

Black rice refers to the “light yellow rice” that is made by removing the bran shell from the husk of the husk during the grinding process and retaining the embryo and skin. The protein, fat, vitamin and water content in black rice are higher than those in white rice.

The molecular structure of dietary fiber in the bran layer is beneficial to gastrointestinal motility and is effective for digestive system diseases such as stomach disease, constipation, and hemorrhoids. Black rice is more nutritious than white rice, can reduce cholesterol, and reduce the risk of heart disease and stroke.

Black rice is suitable for the general public, but because black rice has a coarse taste and dense color, it takes a long time to cook. Gu Qianli recommends washing it before cooking, soaking it in cold water overnight, and then putting it into a pressure cooker together with the soaking water and cooking it for more than 30 minutes.
