Patient's question:
My partner just had a baby 15 days ago, and today after eating, her stomach started making gurgling noises. She also had diarrhea. She eats 4 to 5 meals a day, mainly consisting of porridge, noodle soup, and milk, with added pig trotters, lamb, bananas, walnuts, and black sesame seeds in her meals. Sometimes she also drinks scrambled eggs. I'm wondering if she's eating something wrong?Doctor's answer:
At the same time, avoid extremely cold foods and eat less fruits and melons. A postpartum woman's diet should consist of small, frequent meals with a balance of meat and vegetables. It is particularly important to emphasize light and easily digestible foods, avoiding overeating to prevent excessive nutrition. In cases where gastrointestinal function is disrupted and nausea and vomiting are caused by poor hygiene in diet, it is advisable to temporarily avoid fatty foods like pig trotters. At the same time, it is recommended to eat more vegetables and fruits appropriately.
