What foods should not be consumed with large shrimp?
Disease description:
I usually enjoy eating large shrimp and consume them every two or three days. However, I’ve heard that certain dietary restrictions should be observed when eating shrimp. Could you please tell me which foods should not be consumed together with shrimp?

Hello, you should not consume shrimp together with spinach—which contains oxalic acid—because the oxalic acid in spinach can bind with calcium in shrimp, increasing the risk of stone formation. Additionally, avoid drinking tea (which contains tannic acid) immediately after eating shrimp, as tannic acid may combine with calcium to form insoluble calcium salts, impairing digestion. We hope this information is helpful to you. Wishing you a happy and healthy life!
