Patient's question:
Doctor, I have been married to my husband for 3 years, and now I am 8 months pregnant. Since getting pregnant, my mouth has been particularly craving ice, which has resulted in diarrhea. Today, I really want to eat persimmon cakes, but I can't control myself and feel like eating whatever I want. Could you please tell me if it's okay for pregnant women with diarrhea to eat persimmon cakes?Doctor's answer:
Hello, generally it is not possible. Gastrointestinal inflammation itself is caused by improper and unclean diet. You are especially not supposed to eat cold things if you have dysentery. Dysentery is a relatively serious intestinal disease that can easily lead to high fever. Especially since you are already in the late stage of pregnancy, having dysentery can easily lead to premature birth. This requires dietary restrictions, increased fluid intake, and appropriate use of anti-diarrheal and supplementing medications.
