Fish Curry With Curd Side Effects - #4167

Anonymously

I recently had a meal that included fish curry along with curd as a side dish, and I started feeling uncomfortable within a few hours. There was a strange heaviness in my stomach, followed by mild acidity and some bloating. This made me wonder about the possible fish curry with curd side effects. I’ve heard that combining fish and curd can lead to issues because of the conflicting natures of these foods in Ayurveda. Fish is considered hot in potency, while curd is cooling, and apparently, this combination can disturb digestion or even create toxins in the body. Is this true, or is it just a myth? If fish curry with curd side effects are real, what exactly happens in the body when these two are eaten together? I’ve eaten fish curry many times without any problems, and I regularly eat curd with other meals, but this was my first time having them together. Could it be that some people are more sensitive to this combination than others? Or are the fish curry with curd side effects likely to affect everyone over time? Another thing I’m curious about is whether the way fish or curd is prepared makes any difference. For instance, does eating fried fish with curd have the same effect as having it with a curry? And if I add spices like turmeric or cumin, which are considered digestive aids, does it reduce the risk of side effects? I’ve also read that eating incompatible food combinations can lead to long-term health issues like skin problems, joint pain, or even chronic diseases. Are the fish curry with curd side effects limited to digestion, or could they have other impacts on the body? Should this combination be avoided completely, or are there exceptions depending on the meal or portion size?

In Ayurveda, the combination of fish and curd is considered incompatible due to their opposing qualities. Fish is regarded as "hot" and tends to increase Pitta, while curd is "cooling" and can increase Kapha. When these two are combined, it is believed that they can disturb digestion by creating an imbalance in the body’s digestive fire (Agni), leading to the formation of toxins (Ama). This imbalance can manifest as bloating, heaviness, acidity, or skin-related issues. While not everyone may experience discomfort from this combination, those with a sensitive digestive system or an existing imbalance in Pitta or Kapha may be more prone to these side effects. The preparation of the food can make a difference—spices like turmeric, cumin, and ginger, which aid digestion, may help mitigate some of the negative effects, but they cannot completely counteract the inherent qualities of the combination. Fried fish with curd, for example, is likely to be even heavier and harder to digest due to the added oil, whereas a light, well-spiced fish curry may be somewhat easier on digestion but still may lead to discomfort in some individuals. Long-term consumption of incompatible food combinations like fish and curd could potentially contribute to more severe health issues, such as skin problems or joint pain, as they may lead to the accumulation of toxins or disrupt the body’s natural balance over time. To avoid these issues, Ayurveda suggests avoiding such combinations, especially if you have a history of digestive discomfort, or at least consuming them in moderation and with proper digestive aids.
