Abdominal pain after eating shrimp may be caused by physiological reasons such as intolerance to the nutrients contained in shrimp, or pathological reasons such as food poisoning and allergic reactions.
1. Physiological reasons: shrimp contains a lot of protein, and protein is difficult to digest. After eating shrimp, it stimulates the gastric mucosa and secretes a large amount of gastric acid, triggering abdominal pain.
2. Pathological causes:
(1) food poisoning: shrimp containing protein is more prone to corruption, breeding bacteria. After eating shrimp, bacteria invade the intestinal tract, triggering intestinal congestion and edema and inflammation, stimulating abnormal intestinal peristalsis, abdominal pain symptoms.
(2) allergic reaction: shrimp protein is a common allergen, some people are allergic to this nutrient. After eating shrimp, the protein triggers an abnormal immune response in the intestines and abdominal pain occurs.
Shrimp as a food should be eaten in moderation to avoid discomfort. Abdominal pain after eating shrimp may be caused by other reasons, it is recommended to go to the hospital in time, under the guidance of the doctor for examination, to determine the cause of the disease and then targeted treatment or treatment.
