Is mandarin allowed on the Tayyibat diet?
No
No. Dr. Al-Awadi excluded this food himself.
Why mandarin 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?
He ruled on this himself.
