How long do date pits stay in the stomach

The date pits stay in the stomach for about 1-2 days and are usually expelled with the stool. The size of the pits and each person’s constitution are different, and the speed of intestinal peristalsis affects the time of expulsion of the pits. Usually, the date palm stays in the stomach for about 1-2 days, and even if it cannot be digested, it is usually discharged into the intestines and out of the body with the feces. But after accidentally swallowing the date palm, it may be stuck in the esophagus, not into the stomach. Because of the sharp ends of the kernel, it is possible to cause damage to the mucosa and veins of the esophagus, causing perforation of the esophagus, and may even cause blockage of the airway, resulting in breathing difficulties, choking and coughing, and in severe cases, causing choking. It is recommended to go to the hospital in time to avoid infection, etc.. Under normal circumstances after accidentally swallowing the date palm 48 hours without any abnormality, the date palm will be discharged into the intestinal tract, along with the feces.
