What foods should not be eaten with durian?

Durian generally should not be consumed together with mangosteen, milk, alcohol, eggplant, crab, or other similar foods.

1. Mangosteen: Durian is a heaty food, excessive consumption may easily cause internal heat. Mangosteen is relatively cold in nature and has the effect of clearing heat and reducing fire. Consuming excessive amounts of both together may irritate the gastrointestinal tract due to alternating hot and cold effects, disrupting normal digestive function and potentially causing indigestion.

2. Milk: Durian and milk are not suitable to be consumed together. Milk is rich in protein and calcium, while durian contains abundant nutrients. However, when consumed together, they may cause complex biochemical reactions in the gastrointestinal tract, affecting digestion and absorption, and may cause gastrointestinal discomfort such as bloating, abdominal pain, and diarrhea.

3. Alcohol: Alcohol is heaty in nature, and durian is also heaty and contains sulfur compounds that may affect alcohol metabolism. Consuming both together significantly increases internal heat,加重 the metabolic burden on the liver, and may likely trigger symptoms of excessive internal heat.

4. Eggplant: Eggplant is a cooling food, while durian is heaty. Consuming them together creates conflicting hot and cold properties, which not only reduces the nutritional value of the food but may also interfere with the normal digestive function of the gastrointestinal tract, leading to physical discomfort.

5. Crab: Crab is a cold-natured food rich in protein, while durian is heaty. Eating them together may subject the gastrointestinal tract to dual stimulation from cold and heat, resulting in digestive disorders, symptoms such as abdominal pain and diarrhea, and potentially affecting protein absorption.

It is recommended to consume durian in moderation and pay attention to proper food combinations. In daily life, it is advisable to maintain a light diet, follow healthy lifestyle habits, and ensure balanced nutrient intake to promote overall health.
