Can We Eat Karela And Dahi Together - #3577

I’ve recently started eating more karela (bitter gourd) because I heard it’s great for blood sugar and overall digestion. I usually fry it lightly with some spices or make a karela curry. On the other hand, dahi (curd) is something I’ve always had with my meals, as it helps cool my stomach and feels refreshing. The other day, I had karela and dahi together in the same meal, and later, I felt a bit of discomfort in my stomach—nothing major, but it made me wonder, can we eat karela and dahi together according to Ayurveda? I know Ayurveda emphasizes food combinations and how certain foods interact in the body. Could there be something about karela and dahi that makes them incompatible? Does the bitterness of karela clash with the cooling properties of dahi? I’m trying to figure out if this is why I felt bloated and uneasy after eating them together. Also, if karela and dahi are not supposed to be eaten together, what’s the reason behind it? Is it related to their digestive properties or how they affect the doshas? I think I have a Pitta imbalance, so could mixing karela and dahi aggravate it further? I want to make sure I’m eating the right combinations to avoid making things worse. Another question is whether there’s any way to modify how I eat karela and dahi so they don’t cause issues. Would it help if I ate them at separate times, like having dahi later in the day? Or are there spices, like cumin or black pepper, that could balance the effect of eating karela and dahi together? Lastly, are there specific symptoms that show up if you eat incompatible food combinations in Ayurveda? I want to be sure if this mild discomfort was because of the karela and dahi combination or if it’s something else in my diet. Looking forward to some insights on this, as I want to make the most of both karela and dahi in my meals without causing any digestive problems.
