There are 7 kinds of taboos in yam, but if there are wet and full, dyspepsia, yam allergy, etc., you can't eat yam.

7 Taboos of Yam

1. Wet and full

yam tastes sweet and flat, enters the spleen, kidney and lung meridians, and can nourish yin and help dampness. Therefore, it is not recommended for people with wet and full to eat yam, which may lead to increased moisture in the body.

2. Dyspepsia

yam contains starch. Starch intake by people with indigestion will lead to increased gastrointestinal burden, easy gas production, and more obvious abdominal distension.
