Dietary fiber can massage the intestinal wall, help increase gastrointestinal peristalsis, and will not be digested in the small intestine. When they get to the large intestine, they will knock on the door (intestinal wall) and inform everyone: "I'm coming, let me out."

However, I want to say a few more words about dietary fiber: although water-insoluble dietary fiber can make intestinal peristalsis, it is also easy to cause stomach pain; Although water-soluble dietary fiber can't provide sufficient power, it can help food digest better and make the stool softer.

So where can I find a moderate proportion of dietary fiber?

The design of nature is often the most exquisite and thoughtful: the skin of fruits and vegetables usually contains a lot of water-insoluble fiber, while the pulp is rich in water-soluble fiber.

2. Drink plenty of water properly

If the poop is soft enough, no matter how much water you drink, the poop will not become soft; But the poop is already hard. If you don't drink more water, it will become harder! Because the large intestine will extract water from the stool to supplement the body.

3. Exercise is more appropriate

During pregnancy and lactation, most women will exercise less than before pregnancy. In this way, it will also lead to weakened gastrointestinal peristalsis and constipation.

Therefore, during pregnancy, no matter what time, you should persist in walking for a while every day; After delivery, if your body is almost recovered, start exercising quickly!

4. medicine

In addition to non-drug treatment, in fact, when constipation occurs, some drugs are relatively safe and can be used during pregnancy.

For example, the most commonly used hypertonic laxatives!

Hypertonic laxatives contain some salts, sugars or other small molecular chains, which will not be absorbed and can reach the large intestine. The water in the body will penetrate into the intestinal cavity because of their infiltration, and the stool will become moist and soft.

There are all kinds of hypertonic laxatives on the market. You can choose salt, sugar or other small molecule "water absorbent" according to your preferences and needs.

Among these laxatives, lactulose is the most widely used, which can not only absorb water, but also nourish intestinal flora (equivalent to prebiotics); Nutriented intestinal flora can play an auxiliary role by producing some softeners or stimulating the movement of intestinal wall

Moreover, lactulose is derived from lactose. For example, when milk is heated at high temperature, lactose will be converted into lactulose. Therefore, whether it is pregnancy, lactation or baby, it can be used with confidence.

Finally, I would like to remind you that if you are constipated repeatedly, you must remember to see a doctor, whether it is an adult or a child.
