Apple And Milk Together - #4317

I’ve been experimenting with different food combinations lately to improve my digestion and overall health, and I’ve come across something that has me a bit confused. I’ve always liked eating apples as a snack, and I’ve also been drinking milk regularly for its calcium benefits. But recently, I’ve heard that combining apple and milk together might not be a good idea, especially from an Ayurvedic perspective. I’ve noticed that when I eat apples and drink milk together, I sometimes feel a bit bloated or uncomfortable in my stomach. So, I’m wondering, is apple and milk together a bad combination for digestion, or is this just a misconception? To give you some context, I’ve always had a sensitive stomach. I experience bloating and sometimes mild indigestion, especially when I eat foods that don’t sit well with my system. For the most part, I try to follow a balanced diet, but I’m not sure if apple and milk together is something I should avoid based on my digestive issues. I know Ayurveda emphasizes food combinations for better digestion, and I’ve heard that milk can be considered a heavy food, while apples are light and have a cooling effect. Does this mean that combining apple and milk together creates an imbalance, or can it still be okay in moderation? I’ve also read that fruit and dairy are generally not recommended to be combined in Ayurveda, but I’m not sure why. Is it because fruits like apples can cause fermentation when combined with milk, which might lead to discomfort in the digestive tract? Does apple and milk together cause issues like acidity, bloating, or gas for people with sensitive digestion, or is it mainly a concern for people with stronger digestion? Another question I have is whether the time of day affects whether apple and milk together will cause digestive issues. I usually drink milk at night before bed, and I sometimes snack on an apple in the morning. Should I be separating these two items, or is there a specific time when combining them would be better, if it’s even recommended at all? I want to make sure that I’m optimizing my digestion and not making my issues worse by combining certain foods at the wrong times. Lastly, if apple and milk together is not the best combination, what are some good alternatives that are easier on the stomach? I’m not sure if I should just avoid having milk and fruit at the same time, or if there are specific fruits that can be paired with milk without causing issues. I’m looking for practical advice that I can incorporate into my routine without feeling overly restricted. I’d really appreciate hearing from others who have had similar concerns or from Ayurvedic experts who can shed some light on whether apple and milk together is truly something to avoid, or if it’s just a matter of moderation.
