Can figs and pears be eaten together

Figs and pears can be eaten together. There were no taboos against these two ingredients. However, it is important to note that patients who already suffer from spleen and stomach deficiency should reduce the number of times they eat pears, because this fruit is a cold fruit. Eating too much will make the gastrointestinal tract worse. In addition, patients with excessive stomach acid must not consume too much to avoid irritating their intestines.
