What to do if pregnant women have indigestion

Indigestion is a common symptom in our lives. Its main symptoms are intestinal flatulence, diarrhea, nausea, vomiting, etc. Damage to the gastrointestinal tract organs is the main cause of indigestion. Some patients also suffer from excessive diet. We should find out the cause of the disease and treat it with drugs in a targeted manner. If a postpartum woman has indigestion, because she cannot use drugs, we recommend that you mainly use conditioning methods.

In order to make up for the losses during pregnancy and delivery and restore physical strength as quickly as possible after giving birth, and to breastfeed their babies, mothers eat more foods with high nutritional value. The proteins, fats and carbohydrates in these foods are large molecules and cannot be directly absorbed and utilized by the human body. They must be mechanically and chemically digested by the digestive system to turn them into simple, soluble amino acids, glycerol, fatty acids, glucose and other small molecules to facilitate absorption and utilization by the human body. If you eat too much greasy food and food that is difficult to digest, which exceeds the digestive capacity of the gastrointestinal tract, it may cause indigestion.

Mothers who stay in bed for a long time and exercise less are prone to indigestion. Postpartum women should pay attention to the balance of their diet, make a reasonable combination of meat and vegetables, and eat less greasy food. Excessive greasy food not only adds burden to the digestive system, but also affects the appetite of postpartum women. The diet should be small and frequent, and the food should be soft to facilitate digestion and absorption by the mother. Vegetables and fruits are indispensable. These foods are rich in fiber and pectin, which can help intestinal peristalsis.

If the symptoms of indigestion in postpartum women are severe, they can take some digestive aids. In daily life, postpartum women should pay attention to adjusting their diet structure, avoid eating spicy and irritating foods, and avoid burdening the gastrointestinal tract. If the postpartum woman's physical condition allows, we recommend appropriate getting out of bed for exercise, which can promote gastrointestinal motility and help digestion and absorption of food.
