Many places have the habit of eating poached eggs in sugar water, which is actually wrong!

2. Don't eat goose or rabbit meat immediately after eating eggs.

Eggs can't be eaten with meat such as rabbit and goose. Li Shizhen said in "Compendium of Materia Medica": "Eggs and rabbit meat eat into a pool of dysentery." That's because rabbit meat tastes sweet and cold, while eggs are sweet and flat and slightly cold. Both of them contain some bioactive substances, which will react when eaten, stimulate the gastrointestinal tract and cause diarrhea.

3. Don't eat persimmon immediately after eating eggs.

Eating persimmons after eating eggs can lead to food poisoning, acute gastroenteritis and lung stones. Generally speaking, eating these two foods at the same time will lead to acute gastroenteritis with vomiting, diarrhea and abdominal pain. If you take it within 1-2 hours, you can use the method of inducing vomiting. Take 20g of salt and 200mL of boiling water, and drink it once after cooling, or mash it with fresh ginger to get juice and take it with warm water. If you take it for a long time, you can take laxatives under the guidance of a doctor to excrete toxic substances.

4. Don't take anti-inflammatory drugs immediately after eating eggs

Eggs are rich in protein, so you should pay special attention to the intake of protein when inflammation occurs, so remember not to take medicine after eating eggs when inflammation occurs. Especially for digestive tract diseases, people with diarrhea symptoms should not eat eggs. Because eggs contain more protein, it will increase the gastrointestinal burden, which will have an impact on the efficacy. If it is other inflammation, such as respiratory system, urinary system, etc., it has little influence from the perspective of western medicine.
