'Aluminum to me, aluminium to some. You can shine like silver all you want but you're just aluminum.' Barenaked Ladies, Aluminum
1. Being able to see in a stomach/body. For a couple reasons. First is that what light are you actually able to see by? Skin and muscle and sinew and fat and all, its not generally translucent. And the second reason is how do you plan on keeping your eyes open when they are full of mucous, slime, and being pressed on by those squishy walls of flesh all around you? Even if there was light, the walls around you would almost certainly be too close to your face to keep your eyes open, and even if you coudl keep your eyes open, the walls woudl be so close you couldnt properly focus.
2. Pred speaking with the mouth full. This doesnt generally bother me overly much, but it does bug me. You have your prey on your tongue, filling your jaws up to the point of near dislocation, and you can form coherent words? Pfffft. Good luck with that! every try playing 'fluffy bunny,' the game of stuffing marshmallows in your mouth until you cant say 'fluffy bunny' any more? Multiply your highest score by 10.
3. Bimbo/ignorant prey. You know the type, those people that go 'oooh, that giant panther looks so cuddly! Im sure nothing bad could happen... especially if I look in his mouth, and lean in, and rub his tongue... This is perfectly safe! Hey, I fell deeper... hey hey, stop eating me, no, bad panther! Oh, Im ded. How coudl this happen to me?!' I mean, if you wanna get eaten, go approachign all those intimidating, big predators. If you dont want to be eaten, dont. Seems logical that if you dont want something, you dont freaking encourage it! 9 out of 10 preds nowadays are lazy to the extreme and wont bother chasing you, so just dont go walking up to try and give em a kiss if youre against being eaten!
4. Pertaining to digestion. pH of your stomach is fairly low, generally around 2. slightly more acidic than lemon juice. LEMON JUICE. Spill some lemon juice on your skin. How long do you think it takes to really do damage? Might cause stinging, yes. Itching, burning, whatever. If youre exposed to the acids long enough yes, it will hurt.
Now factor in how long you can go without air. 3 minutes. I dont think youll be finding much in the way of usable oxygen or air of much sort at all inside a body, from throat to stomach. Even if there is air, how are you breathing if you cant move your arms/hands and your face is smothered by mucous, ichor, slime, and soft tissue walls closing in around you?
Refer to the pictures below for acidity.

obviously certain species are different in terms of digestion, both on part of the prey and part of the pred. Many creatures can go longer without air. Some cant go 3 minutes. Stronger gastic acids vs weaker. Etc.
Yes yes, in the end everything is fantasy and make believe. but these are a few things that bug ME, personally, in most cases. I overlook plenty just for the sake of enjoyment myself, but at the same time when I see people looking around in a stomach, or moving freely, or the pred and prey carry on a conversation as the prey is being ingested, or people describe a sizzle or burning sensation the INSTANT they touch some stomach acid, it just bugs me. Theres no reason we cant have a level of intelligence in our pretend eating, is there?

The acid thing though, check out various other animals. I thought some reptiles, a lot of reptiles? Were highly acidic and destructive. But I dunno... I tend to portray the demise of others through crushing and suffocating actions. ;)
