In the cold winter, persimmons have become a favorite delicacy for many people. However, while enjoying food, you should also be wary of potential health risks. Recently, a Mr. Zhang unfortunately developed huge stomach stones because he ate a large amount of persimmons on an empty stomach, and he was miserable. What's going on here?
Mr. Zhang, a 50-year-old native of Hangzhou, ate nearly 10 persimmon cakes at home not long ago! At first, he felt his stomach swell, but it was not violent, and he didn't pay much attention to it. However, in the following half a month, Mr. Zhang's symptoms of abdominal pain and bloating recurred and did not improve. Two days ago, his abdominal pain suddenly worsened, accompanied by nausea and vomiting, and he rushed to the Department of Gastroenterology of Zhejiang Provincial Hospital of Integrated Traditional Chinese and Western Medicine (Hangzhou Red Cross Hospital) for treatment.
After a detailed examination, Dr. Xu Jianjun, the chief TCM physician of the Department of Gastroenterology, found that Mr. Zhang was likely to eat too many persimmons on an empty stomach, which led to the formation of stones in the stomach, which in turn caused obstruction. Director Xu immediately performed gastrointestinal decompression for him and arranged a gastroscopy. It was found that Mr. Zhang's stomach stones had "fallen" to the descending part of the duodenum, causing duodenal obstruction. If incarceration continues, there is a risk of perforation!
"Don't be greedy anymore!" With the help of the doctors, Mr. Zhang successfully underwent endoscopic lithotripsy. With superb experience, the doctor broke the huge gastric stone and removed it completely. After follow-up treatment, Mr. Zhang recovered and was discharged from the hospital after 3 days. He was full of emotion: "Thank you so much!" I won't dare to be greedy again!"
Xu Jianjun, chief TCM physician, explained that every autumn and winter, the Department of Gastroenterology admits several patients with gastric stones, most of which are related to improper diet. To put it simply, gastric stones refer to the clumps that form as a result of the coagulation of certain substances trapped in the stomach, and the causes of their formation are related to complex changes in the environment inside the stomach.
In the case of Mr. Zhang, he ate a large amount of persimmons on an empty stomach, which contained a lot of tannic acid and pectin. These substances, in the presence of gastric acid, produce gastric stones, which are difficult to dissolve. Persimmons, hawthorns, grapes, bananas and other common foods can form gastric stones, among which persimmon stone disease is the most common. If you eat persimmons on an empty stomach or with high-protein foods such as crabs, the chance of forming stomach stones increases.
If gastric stones are difficult to pass in the digestive tract, they can cause bloating, abdominal pain, nausea and vomiting, and in severe cases, gastrointestinal obstruction, ulcers or perforation. In the past, large amounts of cola or sodium bicarbonate could be used to help dissolve gastric stones, but the effect was not stable. With the development of laparoscopic technology, laparoscopic gastric stone lithotripsy has good efficacy, which avoids the occurrence of serious complications and the occurrence of surgical trauma.
The most important thing is to pay attention to dietary Xi and avoid eating a large number of foods such as persimmons containing tannic acid on an empty stomach. At the same time, avoid eating with acidic or high-protein foods, such as fish, shrimp, crab and other high-protein foods. In addition, people with poor gastrointestinal function, such as the elderly, children, and people with indigestion and gastrointestinal diseases, need more attention.
Eating persimmon cakes on an empty stomach actually caused huge stomach stones, which undoubtedly reminded everyone. Remind the people around you to pay attention to a healthy diet and not damage your health because of cravings.
