Seafood and sweet potatoes can be eaten together, but sweet potatoes cannot be eaten together with crabs. After eating sweet potatoes, if you eat crabs within a short period of time, it is very easy to form stones in the human body. Therefore, if you have eaten grilled sweet potatoes, try to wait 5 hours before eating boiled crabs and other seafood and river seafood. Eating it too closely can cause diarrhea and may lead to stones.

Foods that cannot be eaten with sweet potatoes include: persimmons, crabs, tomatoes, pumpkins, bananas, and eggs.

1. Persimmons

Sweet potatoes must not be eaten together with persimmons. Sweet potatoes are a kind of health-preserving food. They are flat in nature and sweet in taste, and can help digestion. But persimmon is a very cold food.

Once eaten together with sweet potatoes, the gastric acid secretion in the body will increase, which will react with the sticky pectin in the persimmons, causing stomach discomfort. In severe cases, gastric ulcers and gastrointestinal bleeding will occur. Wait at least 5 hours before eating.

2. Tomatoes

Eating sweet potatoes and tomatoes separately is good for the body, but eating them together will cause a series of chemical reactions. Sweet potatoes and tomatoes will greatly damage the human digestive system if eaten together within 3 hours, which is very harmful. Not only will vomiting, diarrhea and abdominal pain occur, but it is also easy to get stones.

3. Pumpkin

Sweet potatoes and pumpkin are not easy to digest and are stagnation foods. It is best not to eat them together. If the two are consumed within 3 hours of each other, flatulence will occur, as well as abdominal pain and acid vomiting. Especially if the two are not cooked well, the diarrhea will be aggravated and very uncomfortable.

4. Banana

Banana cannot be eaten together with sweet potato. Eating sweet potato and banana together will cause bloating. Not only is the stomach bloated, but it is also accompanied by strong gastric acid reflux. If you eat too much, the food will remain in the stomach for a long time, causing gastric blockage and gradually turning into chronic poisoning.

5. Eggs

Sweet potatoes are not easy to digest, and eggs are also a food that is difficult to digest. Eating them together will hinder digestion and cause abdominal pain. In addition to eggs, even chicken cannot be eaten with sweet potatoes, as it will affect our gastrointestinal tract.

Extended information:

Seafood is good for lowering blood lipids. Excessive consumption may increase human cholesterol. Scientists have found that Eskimos are less likely to suffer from cardiovascular disease, which is related to their main food coming from deep-sea fish.

These fish are rich in polyunsaturated fatty acids, which can lower triglycerides and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol and reduce cardiovascular disease. Although shrimp, crab, sardines and clams have more cholesterol.

However, because their saturated fatty acid content is low, and most of the cholesterol in shrimp and crab seafood is concentrated in the heads and yolks, as long as these two parts are removed when eating, you will not consume too much cholesterol.
