People with poor gastrointestinal health should generally avoid eating shrimp. Shrimp is a type of seafood rich in protein, and consuming it may increase the burden on the digestive system, potentially leading to indigestion in individuals with gastrointestinal issues. Therefore, those with stomach or intestinal problems should usually refrain from eating shrimp. Their diet should primarily consist of light, easily digestible foods, such as millet porridge or corn porridge.
