Can We Eat Ghee and Egg Together - #2576

Anonymously

I’ve been trying to eat healthier and explore some Ayurvedic principles in my diet lately. I’ve been hearing a lot about how certain food combinations can impact digestion and overall health. One thing I’ve been wondering about is can we eat ghee and egg together? I have a somewhat sensitive stomach and recently started incorporating ghee into my diet, as I’ve heard it has many benefits, especially in Ayurveda. I read that ghee helps with digestion and balancing the body’s systems. However, I was having breakfast the other day, and I decided to make some scrambled eggs with ghee, thinking it would be a healthy choice. After eating, I felt a bit sluggish and uncomfortable, so I started questioning whether it was the combination of ghee and egg together that caused this discomfort. From what I know about Ayurveda, food combinations are important to avoid creating too much heaviness or digestive issues in the body. I’m curious if ghee and egg together might be too rich or difficult for the body to digest. I know that ghee is a saturated fat and eggs are also high in protein and fat, so could this combination be too much for my digestive system? I’ve read some Ayurvedic sources mention avoiding combining certain fats and proteins, and I’m wondering if ghee and egg together falls into that category. I also wanted to ask if Ayurveda has any specific guidelines on when it's okay to combine ghee and egg together or if I should avoid it entirely. Is it possible that my body doesn’t handle this combination well, or should I be able to digest them fine if eaten properly? Could the time of day make a difference when consuming ghee and egg together? For example, would it be easier to digest at breakfast, or is it best to keep these foods separate in my meals at all times? Another thing I’ve noticed is that when I eat ghee and egg together, I sometimes experience mild bloating or discomfort, but I haven’t had these symptoms when eating them separately. I’m wondering if there’s a specific reason why this happens in Ayurveda. Is there a difference in how the body processes ghee and egg together compared to when they’re consumed on their own? I’ve also read that Ayurveda recommends listening to your body, and maybe it’s just my digestive system reacting to this combination. Could ghee and egg together be too heavy for me to handle at this point in my health journey? I’d love to hear from others who’ve had experience with ghee and egg together. How does it affect your digestion, and do you have any tips for balancing or combining these two ingredients in a way that would work well with Ayurveda principles?

Ayurveda typically advises against combining heavy fats like ghee with protein-rich foods like eggs, as this may be difficult to digest, especially for sensitive stomachs. It’s better to eat them separately or pair them with easily digestible foods like vegetables or grains.
