Can pregnant women eat hot dry noodles?

Patient's question:

I have an itchy lower body, and my underwear is always yellow. What's going on? Can I eat hot dry noodles when pregnant?

Doctor's answer:

Personal advice: It's better not to eat very hot dry noodles, as they are alkaline. After consuming alkaline noodles, they will neutralize stomach acid, weakening digestive function and causing food to accumulate in the stomach. Since hot dry noodles digest slowly, they can increase the burden on the digestive system, making it easier to develop conditions like gastritis or stomach ulcers. It's best to eat a lighter diet.
The most common cause of diarrhea in pregnant women is intestinal infection, with pathogenic microorganisms including Salmonella, Shigella bacteria, viruses, and protozoa. In summer, diarrhea should also be considered a possible case of food poisoning. If a pregnant woman experiences diarrhea, the main treatment measure is to replenish fluids appropriately. She should seek medical attention and monitor the condition of the fetus to avoid any impact on it.
