Eating egg and curd together isn’t uncommon, yet according to Siddha-Ayurvedic principles, certain food combinations can indeed disturb digestion, leading to the discomfort you described. In this tradition, food is evaluated based on its inherent qualities and energetic effects on the body. Eggs being high in protein have a warm virya (potency) while curd is cooling and heavy. Consuming them together can lead to digestive challenges, as opposing energies might clash, slowing down your agni, or digestive fire.
This could create the heaviness and cramps you’ve experienced. When your digestion is impacted, it could lead to improper assimilation of nutrients. Further, if one’s prakriti or constitution is already imbalanced towards kapha or has weak digestive fire naturally, the effect may be more intense.
If you enjoy both, consider having them in separate meals. For example, eggs in the morning and curd in the afternoon with your lunch. This will allow your body ample time to digest each food properly without confusing its energetic balance. Ensure to listen to your body, tuning into its reactions after meals—if a combination causes discomfort, it’s worth reconsidering.
In your case, given the symptoms, emphasizing lighter meals that align with your digestive capacity can be beneficial. Warm spices such as ginger or cumin could help stimulate digestion if consumed with foods or teas. Always prioritize food that feels harmonious and energizing. Combining science of Ayurveda with your body’s feedback will guide you toward equilibrium.
