Master Xu, an old man in Zhanjiang, Guangdong, is more than 70 years old this year. Recently, he carried a "big stone" in his stomach and ran through many hospitals in the province. Unfortunately, none of these hospitals can handle it.
Why?
Master Xu had a large stone in his stomach that was 6 centimeters long and 4 centimeters wide. The existing equipment in these hospitals cannot take and break such a large stone.
What did Old Master Xu go through to grow such a large stomach stone? In fact, it is because he likes to eat a fruit too much. Eat more and grow up!
"Buy and eat when you see it" --- fruit is a bane
Old Master Xu likes to eat a fruit the most, and if he usually sees it on the street, he will definitely buy it. Buy it and eat it immediately, and don't fall down again and again.
As a result, two months ago, he had severe stomach pain, vomiting, nausea and was diagnosed with intestinal obstruction.
Master Xu, who was hospitalized in the hospital and had enemas more than 5 times a day and recorded 10 times, suffered a lot of sins. But what? The intestinal obstruction is cured, and the stomach stones are coming again!
What fruit is so dangerous?
It is a persimmon that many people love to eat!
It is because it is too greedy and eats too many persimmons, and lao Xu's current situation is more complicated.
First the stones are too large, and then there is chronic non-atrophic gastritis, and there are colon polyps. The family took him with them, and it was difficult to admit him to many hospitals.
The doctor said that lao Xu's anthus and pylorus were now completely blocked. And it took up to a month, and the surface of the stone was smooth and hard. If you don't think about it, the stone will become harder and harder, and the situation will become more and more difficult.
Eat persimmons, eat out stones. It would have been troublesome enough! What the family didn't expect was that the tools used to break the stones might also need to be customized. Not to mention the high price, the waiting time is also long. Can't wait!
Old Master Xu is not alone. At this time, many patients who are hospitalized because of eating persimmons are admitted to the hospital.
Why can delicious, sticky persimmons lead to such results?
In fact, this is because there is a substance in persimmons--- tannic acid. It is the source of the astringent taste.
Tannic acid can bind to proteins to form tannic acid proteins. This substance is not soluble in water. It continues to bind to pectin and cellulose in the stomach, which can quickly form stones. It also has its own name, called Stomach Persimmon Stone.
It is so dangerous to love to eat persimmons, so how to eat them safely?
The taboo of eating persimmons, have you won it?
01 Can I eat persimmons on an empty stomach?
In the case of excessive stomach acid, after eating persimmons, tannic acid is more likely to react with gastric mucus proteins, thus forming gastric persimmon stones. So if you are on an empty stomach, it is best not to eat persimmons.
02 Can I eat it with crabs?
Persimmons are best not eaten with high-protein foods. Not only crabs with high protein content, but also fish, shrimp and other foods are best not to eat together.
03 Is the legendary "Coke Soluble Stone" real?
Many people who care about health have heard a saying that if you have stomach stones, you can break stones if you drink 1L of Coke every day.
Is this statement valid?
Don't you say it yet! As long as the stones are not as big as Master Xu and I have stomach ulcers, I can really take the method of drinking Coke!
This is because carbonated drinks can bind to calcium, which can destroy the polymer of gastric stones! If the stone is not very large, it has a role. Bigger stones won't work.
However, patients with stomach ulcers may not drink carbonated beverages. Otherwise, a large amount of carbon dioxide can increase the pressure in the stomach, and it is easy to have gastric perforation after drinking too much.
04 Eating persimmon peels is easy to get stones?
In general, the tannic acid content of unripe persimmons is relatively high. Eating persimmons and persimmon skins that are not very ripe, it is easier to get stones. If you want to get stones that are not easy, try to eat persimmons that are thoroughly cooked. And peeled and eaten, a little healthier!
Dr.X said
Elderly and children with poor gastrointestinal conditions are best to eat less persimmons. In addition to persimmons, there are also persimmon cakes, hawthorns and other foods, do not eat too much at a time. The price of greed may be stomach stones.
