What to do if pregnant women have diarrhea and stomach pain

In daily life, I believe it is normal for us to have diarrhea. However, since some pregnant women are in a special physiological period and cannot take any medicine, it is inevitably troublesome to treat. So here are some methods.

What to do if pregnant women have diarrhea and stomach pain

If a pregnant woman has diarrhea and abdominal pain, and does not want to take medication casually to avoid affecting the fetus, she can choose the following dietary therapy to alleviate the condition.

1. Eat fruit

You can eat some fruits as an auxiliary treatment for diarrhea, such as apples, pomegranates, etc. The specific usage is: cut the apples with skin and core into small pieces, boil them in water for 3-5 minutes, and eat them after they are warm. It should be noted that when eating cooked apples, it is not advisable to add sucrose for seasoning, because sucrose may aggravate diarrhea. In addition, you should not eat pears, watermelons, bananas, etc. if you have diarrhea.

2. Drink porridge

If you have diarrhea, you can drink some white porridge with salt, but it is recommended not to add meat. Meat porridge will also increase the burden on the stomach and intestines. Although the pain will be relieved after defecation, the stomach and intestines will have varying degrees of edema due to inflammation. If you eat meat dishes, it will aggravate the condition. Therefore, within two to three days after diarrhea, the diet should be light. You may as well drink some white porridge with a little salt.

3. Eat pasta

If you have diarrhea, you need to eat some food that is easier to digest. Pasta is a good choice. Noodles are rich in nutrients and are relatively easy to digest and absorb, so eating noodles is a good choice for people with diarrhea. However, for people with diarrhea, the noodles they eat should not be too greasy, as too greasy noodles will increase the burden on the stomach and intestines.
