Heartburn
Proteins are digested with acids. Carbohydrates are digested with alkalis. Let them takes turns. Eat carbs, eat protein, in the same day, but not in the same meal.
When your digestive system is confronted with pastrami on rye, you send out the acid squad to process the pastrami and the alkali squad out to work on the rye. They run into each other and can't help but cancel each other out. Since there is still pastrami and rye around, reinforcement are produced and sent out. This reruns several times. Lots of enzymes, especially acid is produced for this event.
When you have eat say, a salad with some cheese in it, no croutons, OR a pasta salad with no cheese, ONLY one squad is sent out. Mission accomplished in one take. You can digest food in one third the time, which saves a lot of energy. You can actually feel alert after lunch instead of exhausted and sleepy, because not so much or your blood stream is drawn to the lower battlefield and more can go to your head.
