3. Tea
Some people enjoy drinking tea right after eating eggs, but this is not recommended. Tea contains tannins, which can bind with iron and protein in eggs, forming insoluble compounds. This not only reduces iron absorption but may also cause constipation and digestive discomfort.
👉 Better choice: Have warm water or herbal tea at least 30 minutes after eating eggs.
4. Rabbit Meat
This might sound unusual, but in some traditional food warnings, eating eggs together with rabbit meat is discouraged. Rabbit meat is lean and contains certain bioactive compounds that, when mixed with eggs, may increase the risk of diarrhea and indigestion.
👉 Better choice: Pair eggs with chicken or fish instead.
5. Onion
Scrambled eggs with onion is a popular dish, but when overcooked, onion’s sulfur compounds may react negatively with the proteins in eggs, leading to potential bloating, gas, or stomach discomfort.
👉 Better choice: If you love the flavor, cook onions lightly before mixing with eggs.
6. Persimmon
Eating eggs and persimmons together is a well-known food taboo in traditional medicine. Persimmons are high in tannins, which, when combined with egg protein, can cause clumping in the stomach. This may lead to food stagnation, nausea, or even food poisoning-like symptoms.
👉 Better choice: Wait at least 1–2 hours before eating persimmons after a meal with eggs.
