1. Do not eat sugar immediately after eating eggs
It is well-known to many housewives that eggs cannot be boiled with monosodium glutamate. But you may not know that eggs cannot be boiled with sugar, nor is it okay to eat sugar after eating eggs. In many places, there is a custom of eating sugar water with poached eggs. In fact, this causes the amino acids in the egg's protein to form a compound with fructoselysine. This substance is not easily absorbed by the human body, so it has adverse effects on health.
2. Do not eat persimmons immediately after eating eggs
Eating persimmons after eating eggs can lead to mild food poisoning, or in severe cases, acute gastroenteritis and lung stones. Generally, consuming these two foods together can cause acute gastroenteritis symptoms mainly characterized by vomiting, diarrhea, and abdominal pain.
Therefore, if the time of consumption is within 1-2 hours, you can use the method of inducing vomiting. Immediately take 20g of salt and dissolve it in 200ml of boiling water. Let it cool and drink it all at once. If you don't vomit, you can drink it several more times to quickly induce vomiting. Alternatively, you can mash fresh ginger, extract the juice, and take it with warm water. If it has been a longer time since consumption, take some laxatives as soon as possible to expel the toxic substances from the body.

3. Do not drink soy milk immediately after eating eggs
Every morning, mothers carefully prepare breakfast for their children, hoping they can get sufficient nutrition in the early morning. So many mothers will beat egg flakes into soy milk, or let their children drink soy milk to quench their thirst after eating eggs.
In fact, soy milk, which is highly nourishing when consumed alone, contains a special substance called trypsin inhibitor. When it combines with the ovalbumin in egg whites, it causes a loss of nutritional value, reducing the nutritional value of both.
4. Do not eat rabbit meat immediately after eating eggs
Eggs also cannot be eaten with meats like rabbit or goose. Li Shizhen said in "Compendium of Materia Medica": "Eating eggs with rabbit meat causes diarrhea."
Because rabbit meat is sweet, cold, and sour in nature, and eggs are sweet, neutral, and slightly cold, both contain some bioactive substances. Eating them together can cause a reaction that irritates the gastrointestinal tract, leading to diarrhea.

5. Do not eat soft-shelled turtle meat immediately after eating eggs
Eggs have many other taboos that are not well-known because they are rarely paired in daily life. For example, eating soft-shelled turtle meat after eating eggs can also lead to food poisoning. Moreover, soft-shelled turtle meat itself is greasy and nourishing, and people with colds or internal cold-dampness are generally advised not to eat it. Furthermore, its nature is salty and neutral, so pregnant women and people with poor digestive systems right after childbirth cannot eat it.
