Can I eat persimmons and milk together?

Persimmons and milk are generally not recommended to be consumed together in large quantities; consuming them together in small amounts is not a big problem. Persimmon cakes are rich in ellagic acid, which may combine with calcium and protein in milk to form calcium ellagic acid or ellagic acid protein that is difficult to digest in the gastrointestinal tract, thus affecting the digestion and absorption of protein as well as calcium and other nutrients. If you eat too much milk and persimmons at once, especially for people with poor gastrointestinal function, you are likely to experience bloating, belching (burping), nausea and other discomforts. In addition, frequent consumption of large quantities of persimmon cakes is prone to stomach stones, and patients may experience abdominal pain, bloating, vomiting and other symptoms. If you want to drink milk after consuming persimmon cakes, it is recommended that you drink milk about half an hour after consuming persimmon cakes to help minimize possible discomfort, as well as to better absorb the nutrients of milk. If you experience any discomfort after consuming milk or persimmon cakes, please consult a doctor promptly for active treatment so as not to miss the opportunity.
