What to do if you have poor digestion during breastfeeding

If a breastfeeding woman has poor digestion, it is very easy to cause insufficient nutrient intake in the body, and in severe cases it may even affect milk secretion. Therefore, in clinical practice, if a lactating woman is found to have poor digestion, her family should give her full care and use some appropriate dietary therapy methods to relieve gastrointestinal discomfort and achieve the effect of protecting gastrointestinal function.

Patients with poor digestion should try to eat more foods containing crude fiber in their daily lives. This type of food can effectively stimulate gastrointestinal motility and thus better enhance defecation ability. There are many foods in our lives that contain crude fiber, such as whole grains, fruits with skin, fresh vegetables, etc. The crude fiber contained in these foods can effectively promote digestion and prevent constipation.

If gastrointestinal discomfort or indigestion occurs, it is best for the patient to achieve relief and treatment by eating foods containing B vitamins. Studies have found that foods rich in B vitamins can effectively promote the secretion of digestive juices, thereby maintaining and promoting normal intestinal peristalsis, making it easier for you to defecate. There are many foods in our lives that contain B vitamins, the more common ones are whole grains, yeast, beans and their products. However, when eating these foods, you must pay attention to drinking plenty of water, so that they can better promote gastrointestinal motility and digestion.

In clinical practice, doctors recommend that women with poor digestion during lactation can appropriately add some fat-rich foods, which will have a better lubrication effect, break down and produce fatty acids, and effectively stimulate gastrointestinal motility. In clinical practice, breastfeeding women can eat more probiotics to achieve the effect of balancing the intestinal flora, bidirectionally regulate the function of the intestinal system, promote gastrointestinal motility, and relieve symptoms of indigestion.
