It is said that hawthorn is appetizing, so eat more before meals. Aunt Zhang always felt that she had indigestion, and she couldn't put it down in the face of appetizing food, and she was usually used to "fasting + hawthorn" to appetize, but not only did she fail to appetize, but her stomach became angry. Recently, Aunt Zhang ate a lot of hawthorn on an empty stomach, and felt abdominal discomfort at noon that day, so she couldn't hold on and came to the Spleen and Stomach Department of Zhangdian District Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine for treatment.
Wang Bin, director of the Department of Spleen and Gastroenterology, introduced: "Gastrolithiasis refers to the formation of stones in the stomach, which can be divided into vegetable bezoars, rubrics, lactic acid stones, etc., among which vegetable bezoars are the most common. The cause is generally believed to be persimmon, hawthorn and other foods are rich in tannic acid, under the action of gastric acid, tannic acid and protein combine to form a water-insoluble precipitate, at the same time, the pectin and gum in persimmon can also coagulate when exposed to acid, and the peel, fiber and food residues are glued together to form a clot, many clots can be bonded and accumulated with each other to form a huge clump of bezoars. In particular, unripe, unastringent fruits or peels have a higher content of tannic acids, and are prone to bezoars after eating. ”
After bezoars form, most patients experience epigastric discomfort, fullness, nausea, or pain;Some patients may have severe epigastric pain and discomfort, and some patients may have symptoms similar to chronic gastritis, such as loss of appetite, dyspepsia, epigastric distension, nausea, vomiting, acid reflux, heartburn, etc.;Some patients may have peptic ulcer disease. If the patient has the above symptoms and signs, lives in a persimmon-producing area, and eats a large amount of persimmon and hawthorn on an empty stomach, it is recommended to undergo gastroscopy or CT examination of the upper abdomen to confirm the diagnosis.
Why do stomach stones occur?Studies have confirmed that drinking tea, drinking alcohol and eating more foods that increase the acidity of gastric juice after eating hawthorn and persimmon on an empty stomach are the main inducing factors for the occurrence of gastroliths. In addition, pica sufferers eat hair, bricks, nails, etc., which become entangled with plant fibers in the stomach and coagulate with gastric mucus to form stonesThe elderly, infants, and people with poor gastrointestinal motility after gastrointestinal tumor surgery are also at high risk of gastrolithiasis.
Wang Bin reminded that although foods such as hawthorn are delicious, some taboos should be noted: avoid eating persimmons, mountain oranges and black dates on an empty stomach, especially patients with poor gastrointestinal motility, gastric surgery, abdominal surgery and ordinary elderly people, and actively ** gastrointestinal motility diseases to prevent the reformation of gastroliths;When eating persimmons, mountain oranges and other fruits that are easy to cause gastrolias, it is not advisable to drink too hot and too much water at the same timeAvoid eating persimmons, hawthorns, etc. after drinking alcohol and tea;People who usually have heartburn, acid reflux and other excessive gastric acid secretion should avoid eating the above foods;Avoid eating these fruits before and after a high-protein diet. High-protein diet such as seafood (crab, shrimp, etc.), poultry meat (beef, chicken, etc.) and dairy products.
