How soon after acidic fruit can you eat a sweet fruits or rice meal?

Posted by naringian on January 6, 2015 at 1:42pm

I've been trying to search for this since it's got to have been asked before but couldn't find it.

So after having a grapefruit or a kiwi green smoothie or sea buckthorn juice can you go for a big banana smoothie or if you want to have an acidic brunch, how soon can you go for a sweet or cooked carb second lunch or dinner?

About acids and ptyalin / amylase?

Is it only the salivary amylase that gets inhibited (so it's only an in-the-same-meal thing) or does the pancreatic amylase also get inhibited by acidic fruits so you have to wait for full digestion of an acidic meal before you go for carbs?

    After oranges and clementines and stuff i usually wait at least 2 hours, based on this: http://www.unani.com/digestion_time_of_foods.htm

    I'd wait at least 2-3 hrs, but you can experiment and your body will let you know.
