Brief Answer:
Clincally not proven

Detailed Answer:
Hello XXXXXX,

People say that fish and curd should not together, it may cause white pathces on skin or some digestion problems but it has not proven clinically.
If you have lactose intolerance with diary products like milk and curd then you can avoid.


Since both are nutritious food you can eat as long as there are no problmes.

Have you developed any digestive problems or any other symptoms after having this combination?

Thank you
