If forced, the combination can trigger digestive disorders, spikes in blood sugar, and even metabolic problems.
Summarized from various sources, here are the foods and drinks that need to be avoided along with durian.
1. Alcohol
Durian contains sulfur which can inhibit enzymes
aldehyde dehydrogenase
(ALDH).When combined with alcohol, acetaldehyde accumulates in the body and causes disulfiram-like reactions such as a flushed face, palpitations, nausea and dizziness.
Disulfiram itself is a tablet drug used in the treatment of alcohol addiction.
2. Coffee and caffeinated drinks
The sulfur in durian also interferes with caffeine metabolism.If consumed with coffee, tea or energy drinks, risks include digestive problems such as bloating and bad breath.In some people, this combination causes anxiety and stomach discomfort.
3. Milk and its processed products
Durian and milk can both increase body temperature.When combined, some people can experience increased blood pressure, headaches, excessive heat, and even stomach discomfort, especially when consumed in the form of milkshakes, ice cream or milk coffee.
4. Sweet fruits
Fruits such as lychee, ripe mango, longan and jackfruit should not be consumed with durian.High levels of sugar from both sources can trigger blood sugar spikes and cause excess carbohydrates to turn into fat.
In diabetes sufferers, this combination has the potential to cause hyperglycemia and even fainting.Both are also hot so there is a risk of triggering constipation or a sore throat.
5. Desserts and sweet drinks
Desserts
,
soft drinks
, and
bubble tea
can add to the already high sugar load of durian.Excess sugar easily turns into body fat and disrupts organ function.This combination can also trigger fatigue and
sugar crash
.
6. Spicy food
Durian can increase body temperature.If combined with spicy food, body heat can increase drastically and cause a hot stomach, bloating, diarrhea or nausea.This combination also increases the risk of dehydration and can trigger symptoms such as facial flushing and dizziness.
7. Crab and certain seafood
Crab, which is ‘cold’ and difficult to digest, can make digestion work extra hard when consumed with durian.This has the potential to cause nausea or indigestion.
8. Beef and goat
Red meat is hot, so if consumed with durian it can trigger inflammation, the body feels hot, and digestive discomfort.It’s best to give yourself a break.
9. Eggplant
Eggplant, which is also hot, can cause bloating or stomach acid reflux if eaten with durian, especially in sensitive people.
To stay safe while enjoying durian, make sure you avoid risky combinations and consume reasonable portions.That way, the body remains comfortable and avoids health problems.
