Pregnancy is a special period for women, and various discomforts may occur. When pregnant women experience discomfort, they should not take medication randomly, as it may cause miscarriage or premature birth and have adverse consequences. Below, I will recommend several dietary treatments that can treat constipation without medication, which are both healthy and convenient.
1. Walnut porridge:
Take 4 walnut kernels and 100g of glutinous rice. Mash the walnut kernels and cook them with the glutinous rice to make porridge. This is suitable for pregnant women with weak constitution and dry intestines who are suffering from constipation.
2. Butter and honey porridge:
Take 30g of butter, 50g of honey, and 100g of glutinous rice. First, boil the glutinous rice with water, then add the butter and honey to cook into a thick porridge. This is suitable for constipated patients with yin deficiency and fatigue.
3. Arborvitae kernel porridge:
Wash 30g of arborvitae kernels and mash them, then cook them with 100g of glutinous rice to make porridge. Add an appropriate amount of honey when serving. This is suitable for pregnant women with palpitations and insomnia who are suffering from constipation.
4. Fig porridge:
Take 30g of figs and 100g of glutinous rice. First, boil the rice with water, then add the figs to cook into porridge. Add an appropriate amount of honey and sugar when serving. Women with hemorrhoids and constipation can eat fig porridge.
5. Honey-glazed sweet potatoes:
Sweet potatoes contain a lot of dietary fiber, which can promote intestinal peristalsis and shorten the time for food to pass through the intestines. In addition, honey has a lubricating effect on the intestines, so it is beneficial for bowel movements.
6. Black fungus, sesame, and rice porridge:
You only need a small amount of black and white fungus, black sesame, mulberries, and rice. Cook them together and eat them when they are cooked. This medicinal porridge has the effect of nourishing yin, moisturizing the intestines, and promoting bowel movements, which can help pregnant women relieve constipation.
These are several dietary treatments that are both healthy and effective for relieving constipation. They are convenient to make at home and can solve the problem of constipation at any time. I hope they can help all the moms who often suffer from constipation.
