Doctor's answer (1)
Dr. Shen Yonghua
Foods not suitable to be consumed with beef tripe:
1. Persimmon: Persimmon contains a large amount of tannic acid, which can combine with the protein in beef tripe to form substances that are difficult to digest, possibly causing indigestion, abdominal pain, and other symptoms.
2. Tea: The tannic acid in tea can similarly combine with the protein in beef tripe, forming indigestible precipitates that affect digestion and absorption. Long-term consumption in this manner may also increase the burden on the gastrointestinal tract.
3. Foods rich in oxalic acid: Such as spinach and beets. Oxalic acid combines with calcium in beef tripe to form calcium oxalate, which not only reduces the nutritional value of the beef tripe but may also increase the risk of kidney stones.
4. High-fat foods: Beef tripe itself contains a certain amount of fat. Consuming it together with high-fat foods can increase the gastrointestinal burden and hinder digestion. Individuals with elevated blood lipid levels should especially avoid this combination.
When consuming beef tripe, it is important to appropriately combine ingredients and avoid eating it simultaneously with the above foods or medications to ensure good health. Additionally, it should be consumed in moderation to avoid excessive intake.
