Can We Drink Lassi After Eating Fish - #3247

I’ve recently started paying more attention to my diet, and I came across advice about avoiding certain food combinations for better digestion. One question that keeps coming up in my mind is – can we drink lassi after eating fish? I’ve heard mixed opinions about this, especially from people who follow Ayurvedic principles, and now I’m not sure what to believe. Here’s my situation. Last weekend, I had grilled fish for lunch, and I followed it up with a glass of sweet lassi because it’s something I enjoy. Later in the day, I felt a little bloated and uncomfortable, but I didn’t think much of it until someone told me that combining fish and lassi might be harmful. They said it could cause toxins to form in the body, but I don’t understand how that works or why these two foods together might be a problem. I’ve read that Ayurveda has specific rules about combining foods based on their properties, like hot and cold energies or their effect on digestion. Does this apply to fish and lassi? Are they considered incompatible because they have opposite qualities, or is it something else? Also, does it depend on the type of fish or the way it’s prepared? For example, would drinking lassi after fried fish have a different effect than after steamed fish? Another thing I want to know is whether the timing matters. If I wait an hour or two after eating fish before drinking lassi, does that make it safer? Or should these two foods always be avoided together, no matter how much time passes? I don’t want to stop enjoying these foods, but I also don’t want to unknowingly cause digestion issues or other health problems. Lastly, are there any specific symptoms to watch out for if this combination is causing harm? And are there alternatives to lassi that pair better with fish, especially for someone who prefers having something cool and refreshing after a meal?
