On an empty stomach, eating hawthorn and persimmons results in the formation of "stones" in the stomach. Several hospitals in Anshan, Liaoning Province have recently received several such patients. Doctors remind that eating these two types of fruit on an empty stomach can easily cause chemical reactions in the stomach. In serious cases, “gases†may grow and affect health. Hawthorn Among them, an Anshan Central Hospital received a 40-year-old male. Before the patient was admitted to the hospital, the severe stomach pain made him almost stand up. After inspection by the hospital, he found that his stomach had a gray-green circular stomach stone with a diameter of about one centimeter. As this "stone" rubs back and forth in the stomach, it has formed a piece of ulcer on the patient's stomach wall. Upon inquiry, the doctor learned that the patient usually loves to eat hawthorn. In the recent days, he has seen people sell big hawthorns in the market, and bought a lot of them all at once. Every morning they eat on an empty stomach and soon there are symptoms of stomach pain. Coincidentally. Ansteel West Hospital also treated a female patient who developed gastrolith due to fasting persimmons. According to reports, the woman had eaten two large persimmons on an empty stomach. After three or four days, the woman's stomach could not stand the pain. Upon examination, the lady's stomach has formed a yolk-sized stomach stone. Huang Fengying, chief physician of the gastroscope department of Ansteel West Hospital, said that gastrolithiasis is a relatively common sudden gastric disease with symptoms of upper abdominal discomfort, fullness, pain, loss of appetite, nausea, and vomiting. Common complications include gastric mucosal erosion, ulcer bleeding, severe gastric perforation and peritonitis. Gastroliths may also cause intestinal obstruction by entering the intestine. date According to experts, most gastroliths are plant-based gastroliths. They are mostly caused by fasting on large quantities of persimmons, black dates, or hawthorns. This type of fruit contains highly astringent tannins, especially high levels of immature fruits. After contact with stomach acid to form tannic acid protein, it is difficult to dissolve in water. After coagulated with pectin and plant fibers, gastroliths are formed. Experts advise that in order to avoid the occurrence of such diseases, people should not eat hawthorn and persimmon fruit during an empty stomach. In particular, do not eat or eat the immaturity of these two types of plants.
