Is grapefruit allowed on the Tayyibat diet?
No
No, by his rules. He never ruled on this food directly. The verdict follows from his rules.
Why grapefruit is off the list
Your stomach already makes acid. Citrus adds more. That makes protein harder to digest and irritates the lining of your gut.
The detail
Citrus acidity raises stomach acid, interferes with protein digestion and irritates the gut lining, which is why oranges and mandarins are excluded.
The rule behind the verdict
Too acidic
Did the doctor say this himself?
Follows from his rules. Not a ruling he gave.
