Combining curd and banana might not always be the best option, especially when digestion is already feeling stressed or unbalanced. According to Siddha-Ayurvedic principles, combining fruits like bananas with dairy products such as curd can provoke digestive issues because their post-digestive effects (vipaka) are different. Bananas have a sweet post-digestive effect while curd is sour, creating conflicting effects that may dampen agni, your digestive fire, thereby causing discomfort or bloating.
Particularly, if you’re experiencing bloating and heartburn, this may be a sign of disturbed digestion, potentially from an imbalance in your dosha, which is perhaps tilting towards Kapha or Pitta. It’s advisable to consume them separately, giving some gap in between to allow the digestive enzymes to process them without interference.
Alternatively, if you love the soothing and cooling nature of curd, try having it without the banana, or mix it with spices like cumin or mint that can provide a harmonious digestive support. Likewise, bananas can be enjoyed alone as a snack or blend with other non-dairy options.
In the meantime, addressing your digestive woes can start with consuming foods that feel warming and supportive for digestion—think ginger tea or avoiding overly heavy dairy or fried foods which can aggravate your symptoms. If your symptoms continue or worsen, considering consulting with a medical professional would be wise for a thorough investigation.
