During pregnancy, to avoid diarrhea, it is best to consume vegetables that are easy to digest, not too fibrous or raw, and preferably cooked or boiled rather than raw or fried. Vegetables that are gentle on the stomach and help maintain digestive balance include:
- Boiled or steamed carrots and squash: These are easy to digest and less likely to irritate the gut.
- Potatoes (without skins): Cooked potatoes help firm stools and are soothing for diarrhea.
- Green beans: When cooked well, they are gentle and nutritious.
- Leafy greens in moderation, preferably cooked rather than raw, to avoid excess fiber that may worsen diarrhea.
- Avoid raw leafy greens or high-fiber vegetables in large amounts as they might exacerbate diarrhea symptoms during pregnancy.
Also, following the BRAT diet principles (bananas, rice, applesauce, and toast) along with these cooked vegetables is commonly recommended for digestive comfort during diarrhea episodes in pregnanc
