(1) Crabs should not be eaten with melons. Crabs contain protein, while cantaloupe contains tannic acid. When the two combine, they will coagulate into a substance that is difficult to digest, causing vomiting or diarrhea.

(2) Crabs should not be eaten with persimmons. Both crabs and persimmons are cold in nature and can cause adverse symptoms such as diarrhea.

(3) Crabs should not be eaten with mulberries. Mulberries contain a lot of tannic acid, which will cause the calcium in crabs to precipitate, affecting the absorption and utilization of nutrients.

(4) Crabs should not be eaten together with eggplants. Crab meat is salty and cold in nature, while eggplant is sweet, cool and smooth. Both have cold medicinal properties. Eating them at the same time can damage the stomach and intestines, and frequent consumption can cause diarrhea.

(5) Peanuts should not be eaten with crabs. Eating peanuts and crabs together can easily cause diarrhea, so people with weak stomachs should especially avoid eating them.

(6) Sweet potatoes should not be eaten with crabs. Eating crabs and sweet potatoes together can easily form stones in the body, which mainly manifest as symptoms such as vomiting, abdominal pain, and diarrhea.

(7) It is not advisable to eat crabs with beer. Crabs and beer are both cold foods. If you eat them together, the coldness will be compounded and you may easily feel gastrointestinal discomfort and even diarrhea.
