Can women who have had a cesarean section drink radish soup to relieve gas?

Patient's question:

My sister-in-law had a C-section two days ago. The doctor said she couldn't eat anything until she was able to pass gas. My mother-in-law told me that my older sister-in-law also had a C-section, but after the surgery, the doctor told them to go home and drink radish soup, and she passed gas quickly. Can you pass gas after a C-section by drinking radish soup?

Doctor's answer:

If there is no ventilation, it's still best to avoid eating other things, otherwise your stomach may become bloated and painful. White radish soup is beneficial for (passing gas), and lotus root powder is also helpful for (passing gas), so you can eat it. It's recommended to move around more, lie on your sides, and take short walks to promote (passing gas). I didn't pass gas until 48 hours had passed. No problem, it's okay, and it's inexpensive yet highly nutritious. Carrots are rich in vitamin A, eggs provide complete and high-quality protein, lecithin, and DHA. Seaweed is rich in minerals and dietary fiber. Plant protein is recommended to be consumed regularly. Additionally, for cesarean section patients during recovery, their dietary condition and care are also very crucial. Patients must pay close attention to their own diet and eat more light and simple foods.
