Alright, this whole fish-and-milk thing isn’t just an old wives’ tale but there’s something to it in Ayurveda. Combining them can lead to imbalances, which might explain your skin rash and nausea. In Ayurveda, there’s the concept of “Viruddha Ahara” or incompatible foods. Fish (which has a heating effect) and milk (known for its cooling effect) are contradictory in nature, and mixing them can disturb your digestive fire, or agni. You’ve mentioned your digest system ain’t the best, which might make you more sensitive to such combinations. Just, putting that out there.
Skin reactions and nausea can result from these imbalances, especially if your digestion is already weak or if kapha dosha is predominant. Yeah, skin conditions like rashes can occur due to consuming incompatible foods. As for vitiligo claim, it’s more of a widely-held belief in some circles, though not strictly proven. But precautions ain’t gonna hurt, right?
For timing, leaving around 3-4 hours between fish and milk might help. Cooking methods do matter too! Having fish with curd or yogurt might seem similar cuz it’s also dairy, but their effect is less intense compared to milk. But if you’re adding spices like turmeric or black pepper to your meals, they might help mitigate some ill effects. Spices are pretty magical in Ayurveda.
Certain fish types, like fattier ones, might exacerbate digestive issues more. Similarly, full-cream milk could be heavier. If you want to balance, try spices like cumin, ginger, or fennel in food, they aid digestion and balance dosa too.
Honestly, in Ayurveda, prevention is seen as better than trying to fix something. So, if you feel discomfort, staying away from that combo or feed the gut-friendly balance might be best for you. Also, talking to someone who can analyze your specific dosha and lifestyle might give you personalized guidance. Just, you know, something to mull over!
