Best Carbohydrate and Protein Combinations for Digestion - #48759

Client_39dc95

I have been trying to fix ongoing digestive issues for a while now… My understanding is that from a digestive compatibility perspective, we should not be combining starch foods, such as sweet potatoes, rice, or quinoa with meat, such as beef, lamb, elk, salmon, or chicken. But are there any combinations of carbohydrate foods that can be safely paired with those types of protein options that are compatible for optimal digestion?

How long have you been experiencing these digestive issues?:

- More than 6 months

What specific symptoms do you experience with your digestion?:

- Constipation

Have you made any dietary changes recently?:

- Yes, minor changes
