Yes, please let her enjoy potato and rice if she likes them. She shouldn't be eating outside food. Home made food with not much spices and no fried food is good.

Hello- Potato and rice both are rich in carbohydrate. A rich carb diet may slow the body metabolism and your wife might experience bowel difficulties.
