What should not be eaten with peanuts?
Disease description:
I have anemia, and my family bought me a lot of peanuts. However, I think peanuts also have certain dietary禁忌 (contraindications), so I'm curious—what foods should not be consumed with peanuts?

The following are some foods that should not be consumed with peanuts:
1. Avoid consuming with foods high in tannic acid: Peanuts contain a certain amount of protein, and tannic acid can combine with protein to form indigestible complexes, which may affect digestion and absorption, leading to gastrointestinal discomfort. Therefore, it is recommended to avoid drinking strong tea or consuming large amounts of fruits high in tannic acid immediately after eating peanuts.
2. Be cautious when combining with high-fiber foods: Peanuts themselves contain some dietary fiber. Consuming them with large amounts of other high-fiber foods may increase the burden on the intestines and may cause symptoms such as bloating and diarrhea in individuals with weaker digestive systems.
3. Consider combinations with high-purine foods: Although peanuts are not typically considered high-purine foods, their purine content still warrants attention. For individuals with gout or hyperuricemia, they should not be consumed in large quantities together with other high-purine foods to avoid triggering or worsening gout symptoms.
If discomfort symptoms have already occurred, prompt medical consultation and treatment are recommended.
