After eating a large amount of them, they are difficult to digest and can easily cause a heavy burden on the gastrointestinal tract. Especially for people who already have gastrointestinal diseases, they should not eat them in large quantities. Patients with severe gastric and duodenal ulcers, gastric bleeding, cirrhosis, esophageal varices, chronic enteritis, weak spleen and stomach and other diseases should not eat too much bamboo shoots.
