  Scallions and milk can generally be consumed together, with attention to appropriate intake.

  For the general population without specific medical conditions or food allergies, consuming scallions and milk together is typically safe. Scallions are rich in vitamin C and minerals, while milk provides abundant calcium and protein. Combining the two can offer balanced nutrition. Moderately adding scallions to milk or consuming them together, such as having scallion pancakes with milk, generally does not cause health problems.

  Although scallions and milk do not conflict nutritionally, some individuals may experience particular circumstances. Scallions have a spicy flavor and mild irritant properties; therefore, excessive consumption may irritate the gastrointestinal tract, particularly in individuals with sensitive digestive systems, potentially causing discomfort. In such cases, drinking milk simultaneously might加重 the burden on the gastrointestinal tract, leading to symptoms such as diarrhea or abdominal pain.

  It is important to maintain dietary diversity and balance in daily life to ensure comprehensive nutrition. A balanced diet and varied food intake help maintain overall health.
