      Persimmons are something that cannot be eaten on an empty stomach. However, many people eat persimmons on an empty stomach because they cannot control themselves. They eat several persimmons in a row, which increases the burden on the stomach. Some people even suffer from gastric stones and are hospitalized. Hospital , let your family worry, and let yourself endure the torture and suffering of illness. Let’s take a look at such a real example.

      It is often said that disease enters through the mouth. In the past few days, Lao Ran, who is 57 years old this year, has been tortured by "stomach pain".

      Lao Ran usually likes to eat fresh persimmons. Some time ago, a relative from afar brought him a lot of persimmons. During this period, no matter morning or evening, he would eat as long as he remembered, and he could eat up to three or five persimmons at one time.

      Later, Lao Ran always felt a stomachache and felt like there was something in his stomach. And it hurts every time I'm hungry, no matter in the morning, afternoon or night. Lao Ran rushed to a nearby hospital to see a doctor. The doctor said it was probably caused by ulcers. After a gastroscopy, the doctor found that he had a mild ulcer in his stomach and a "big stone" inside. After careful inspection and conclusion

      Based on Lao Ran's recent diet, the doctor concluded that the "stone" in the patient's stomach was actually a "persimmon stone" with a diameter of about 3 cm. The appearance of "persimmon stone" was caused by the patient's lifestyle habit of eating persimmons on an empty stomach. Because the "stone" was too big to be removed directly from the throat, the doctor finally used a lithotripter to crush it into small pieces and then remove them one by one.

      Relevant experts said that although persimmons are delicious, they should not be eaten on an empty stomach. Because persimmons contain tannic acid, they will condense into clumps after reacting with gastric acid. This kind of stone often has a lump as the core. As the stomach moves, other things will continue to adhere to it, and the lumpy stones formed will become larger and larger. Eventually, the stones will press against the gastric tissue, causing symptoms such as nausea and vomiting. If time goes by, gastric ulcers and erosive tissue will form under the stones.
