People with a sensitive stomach are prone to diarrhea when they catch a chill. In addition, improper food combinations can also trigger diarrhea. Grapes should not be consumed with milk, and cucumbers with peanuts are also a bad combination. Now, let me tell you which improper pairings can cause diarrhea. Come and take a look.
1. Grapes + Milk
Grapes and milk should not be consumed together because grapes contain fruit acid, which can cause the protein in milk to coagulate. This not only affects absorption but can also lead to symptoms such as bloating, abdominal pain, and diarrhea in severe cases. Therefore, you should wait for 1 hour after drinking milk before eating grapes.
2. Milk + Oranges
Eating oranges immediately after drinking milk can affect digestion and absorption, and it can also cause bloating, abdominal pain, and diarrhea.
This is because the protein in milk will coagulate once it encounters the fruit acid in oranges, thereby affecting the digestion and absorption of milk.
In addition to oranges, you should not consume any acidic foods within an hour after drinking milk, such as fruits high in acid like apricots and sour pomegranates.
3. Grapes + Seafood
Don't eat grapes when you are eating seafood. Consuming fruits like grapes, hawthorn, pomegranates, or persimmons with seafood can cause symptoms such as vomiting, bloating, abdominal pain, and diarrhea. This is because these fruits contain tannic acid, which coagulates and precipitates with the protein in seafood, forming substances that are difficult to digest.
You must rinse your mouth after eating grapes. Some grapes contain various fermentable sugars that are highly corrosive to teeth and can easily cause cavities.
4. Drinking water immediately after eating grapes
According to relevant information, grapes contain sugars such as glucose, sucrose, fructose, and xylose; acids such as citric acid, malic acid, and citric acid.
They also contain nutrients like protein, carotene, and minerals such as calcium, phosphorus, iron, and potassium, which are particularly beneficial to the brain. Wen Caihong, a nutritionist at the Municipal Second People's Hospital, points out that improper consumption of grapes can also lead to physical discomfort.
You cannot drink water immediately after eating grapes, otherwise, you will have diarrhea in less than fifteen minutes. Grapes themselves have a laxative effect on the bowels. If you drink water right after eating grapes, the stomach doesn't have time to digest and absorb it, and the stomach acid is diluted. The grapes, water, and stomach acid undergo rapid oxidation and fermentation, accelerating intestinal peristalsis and causing diarrhea.
5. Honey + Tofu
Tofu is sweet, salty, cold in nature, and slightly toxic. It can clear heat, invigorate blood, and expel turbidity from the large intestine. Honey is sweet, cool, and lubricious, and contains various enzymes; tofu also contains various minerals, plant proteins, and organic acids. Consuming them together can easily produce biochemical reactions that are unfavorable to the human body. Therefore, you should not eat honey after eating tofu, and it is even less advisable to eat them at the same time.
6. Eating raw white sugar
Some people like to dip their food in raw white sugar. In fact, this eating habit is not good for your health. Because during the production, packaging, transportation, and storage of white sugar, it is easily contaminated by pathogenic microorganisms. Especially white sugar that has been stored for over a year and has turned yellow can cause gastrointestinal discomfort, diarrhea, and other symptoms. As long as you heat the white sugar to 70°C and keep it at that temperature for over 3 minutes before eating it, it will be fine.
7. Cucumber + Peanuts
Cucumber cubes mixed with boiled peanuts as a refreshing cold salad often appear on the dinner tables of many families, and many men also enjoy a dish of peanuts with cucumber cubes when drinking. In fact, this combination is not very appropriate. Because these two foods paired together may cause diarrhea.
Cucumber is sweet and cold in nature and is often eaten raw, while peanuts are high in oil. Generally speaking, when cold-natured food meets oil, it increases its lubricating properties, which may lead to diarrhea, so they should not be eaten together.
Some people might say, "I eat this way often, but I don't get diarrhea." That's right. For people with excellent gastrointestinal function, it might not be a problem. However, for those whose gastrointestinal function is not so good, it is best not to eat them together, and even if you do, don't eat too much.
8. Rabbit meat + Eggs
Eggs cannot be eaten with rabbit meat. Eating eggs and rabbit meat together can irritate the gastrointestinal tract and cause diarrhea.
In conclusion, health is the ultimate goal of our diet, whether the purpose is weight loss or wellness. We must not only absorb the nutritional value of food but also focus on the intake of healthy nutrients.
