Folks have always said that crabs and persimmons cannot be eaten together. Xiao Li, who worked in Zhenhai, did not believe in this evil. After eating 5 persimmons, he ate two more crabs. Sure enough, the stone grew in the stomach. Xiao Li was sore and alive, and went to the hospital. The doctor prescribed a strange prescription: drink more cola every day.

Eat 5 persimmons and two crabs , the young man got stomach stones

The 25-year-old Xiao Li is a northerner. Autumn is coming, and the persimmons of his hometown are also cooked. A few days ago, the father who came from his hometown gave him a bag, and Xiao Li ate five at a time.

In those days, the East China Sea Swimming Crab was just on the market, cheap and delicious. At the dinner that day, Xiao Li steamed a large plate of crabs. The father advised him: I heard that crabs and persimmons cannot be eaten together, otherwise they will be "poisoned" and vomiting. Xiao Li does not believe in this evil, eating two crabs in one meal.

There was no situation that night. On the third day, his stomach began to faint and grow.

Xiao Li quickly went to Zhenhai Longsai Hospital for treatment. The doctor examined Xiao Li and found a table tennis-sized stomach stone on his stomach. The stone continued to roll in the stomach, causing multiple shallow ulcers on his stomach wall.

After drinking for two weeks , the stomach stones became a hit .

Dr. Chen Yan, director of the Center for Digestive Diseases Diagnosis and Treatment of Longsai Hospital, told Xiao Li that the appearance of stomach stones is due to the crab and persimmon.

As soon as I heard the stone, Xiao Li was very nervous: "Do you want surgery?"

Chen Yan patted his shoulder: "It should not be used." She gave Xiao Li a medicine to suppress stomach acid, and sweared at him: drink more cola every day after going home, it is best to drink two or three bottles a day (small bottle) .

Xiao Li complied with the instructions, drinking Coke every day, and sometimes drinking a whole bottle. A few days later, his stomach pain really eased a lot.

Two weeks later, Xiao Li went to the hospital for a review. Chen Yan gave him a gastroscope. Although the stone was still there, it was already very soft. When he touched it with a pair of pliers, it turned out to be gone. Xiao Li’s illness was so good.

Why do crabs and persimmons eat stomach stones easily?

Dr. Chen Yan said that crabs are high-protein foods. Persimmons contain a lot of tannic acid. They combine with protein to form tannic acid protein under the action of stomach acid. They are hardly soluble in water, deposited in the stomach, and then with pectin in persimmon. After the plant fibers and the like are coagulated into a block, the stomach stone is formed. Gastric stones can affect digestive function, leading to abdominal pain, vomiting, diarrhea, and severe stomach bleeding.

Why can you drink cola and dissolve stomach stones?

The principle of Cola dissolved stone, Dr. Chen Yan cited a related report on the fruit shell network.

"Coke contains phosphoric acid, which can bind calcium and effectively destroy the polymer of stomach stones. On the other hand, cola is weakly alkaline, can neutralize gastric acid, and change the environment in which stomach stones become larger." Dr. Chen Yan said It is also the principle that she gave Xiao Li to suppress gastric acid drugs.

This report of the shell network mentioned that in foreign countries, some experts have specially studied the cola treatment of gastric stones.

In 2002, Greek doctor Ladas published an article in the European Journal of Gastroenterology and Hepatology, saying that he successfully treated 5 stomach stones with cola.

Chen Yan said that there are also successful cases in which cola is used to treat stomach stones. Dr. Yuan Jie, from the Department of Gastroenterology, Nanjing First Hospital of Nanjing Medical University, was the first to apply cola to treat vegetal stones in China.

"But Dr. Yuan also pointed out that it is not possible to drink cola easily with vegetal stomach stones. The reason is that stomach stones roll around in the stomach, often damage the stomach wall, causing stomach ulcers, and carbonated drinks are precisely taboos for stomach ulcers."

Therefore, Chen Yan also reminded the majority of patients: Xiao Li is suitable for this kind of therapy because it is an early superficial ulcer. If the public has a stomach stone, they must not drink Coke. They must be taken under the guidance of a doctor. Otherwise, they may have ulceration and perforation.

Dates and crabs are best not to eat together.

In addition to persimmons, the citric acid content of dates and hawthorn is also relatively high, especially the immature fruit (we feel that cockroaches are blaming when we eat raw persimmons). These fruits are eaten together with crabs and have the risk of stomach stones. Sometimes, eating oranges and pomegranates can also cause. But Dr. Chen Yan said that clinically, there are many patients who suffer from persimmons and dates.

Because there is also tannic acid in the tea, some websites mention that after eating crabs, do not drink tea for an hour. However, Dr. Chen Yan said that the content of tannic acid in tea is not high, and she has never encountered such patients in the clinic.
