Can I eat turtle jelly after eating snail rice noodles?

Generally speaking, it is safe to eat turtle jelly after consuming luosifen (a spicy rice noodle soup), but moderation is advised. The detailed explanation is as follows:

Luosifen is typically sour and spicy in flavor, with a strong taste and high levels of oil, salt, and chili. Turtle jelly is a traditional medicinal food made primarily from ingredients such as turtle shell and smilax root (Rhizoma Smilacis Glabrae). It has a cooling nature and is known for clearing heat, reducing internal fire, nourishing yin, and moistening dryness. Eating turtle jelly after luosifen may help alleviate the greasiness and burning sensation caused by the dish, thus helping to balance the overall palate.

However, since turtle jelly is relatively cold in nature, consuming large amounts immediately after spicy luosifen may cause gastrointestinal discomfort, such as abdominal pain or diarrhea. Therefore, both luosifen and turtle jelly should be consumed in moderation.

After eating luosifen, you may experience a burning sensation in the mouth or digestive tract. This can be relieved by drinking milk or yogurt, eating sweet fruits, or consuming vegetables. However, all these relieving foods should also be taken in moderate amounts.
