Question
My partner just had a baby 15 days ago. Today, as soon as she eats, her stomach makes a rumbling sound, and she has diarrhea. She has 4 to 5 meals a day, mainly porridge, noodles in soup, milk, with some pork feet, lamb, bananas, walnuts, and black sesame seeds added to the rice. Sometimes she drinks egg whites. What could be the problem with her diet?
Answer
It’s important to avoid extremely cold foods and to eat fewer fruits and vegetables. For postpartum women, it’s best to eat small meals frequently, with a balance of meat and vegetables. Emphasize lightness in food and make sure it’s easy to digest. Absolutely avoid overeating to prevent excessive nutrition. Gastrointestinal dysfunction and unsanitary eating habits can lead to nausea and vomiting, so it’s advisable to temporarily avoid fatty foods like pork feet while also increasing the intake of vegetables and fruits.
