The beautiful season brings us the joy of harvesting, while various seasonal food also makes us feast, but persimmons, hawthorn or black dates and other delicacies, unreasonable enjoyment may also bring us sickness, we have to say is the “gastric stone disease”. Foreign bodies formed by the ingestion of certain plant components or swallowed hair and certain minerals such as calcium carbonate, barium, bismuth, etc. coagulated in the stomach are commonly known as gastric lithotripsy. According to its composition, gastric stone can be divided into plant gastric stone, animal gastric stone, drug gastric stone and mixed type gastric stone. Among them, phytogenic gastric stones are the most common, such as those caused by inappropriate eating of persimmons, hawthorn, black dates and so on. The reason is that these fruits are rich in tannic acid, pectin and gum. Under the action of gastric acid, tannic acid combines with protein to form insoluble precipitates, while pectin and gum in persimmon can coagulate when they meet acid, and gum the peel, fiber and food residue together to form a clot and form a gastric stone. What are the dangers of gastric stones? Usually, stomach stones can be formed after eating persimmons, hawthorn or black dates for a few hours or days on an empty stomach, after drinking, after tea and in case of increased secretion of stomach acid. Once the stone is formed, it can cause epigastric discomfort, nausea, vomiting, heartburn, acid reflux, or different degrees of abdominal distension, abdominal pain, etc. In severe cases, the pain is unbearable. Untreated can also lead to multiple ulcers, erosion, bleeding, perforation and digestive tract obstruction. Second, how do I know I have gastric stone disease? If the above symptoms occur soon after eating persimmons, hawthorn, black dates and other fruits, you should be alerted to gastrolithiasis, and early barium X-ray or gastroscopy is recommended to make a clear diagnosis. Third, how to treat gastric stone disease? If symptoms such as abdominal pain, nausea and vomiting occur after eating persimmons, hawthorn or black dates, it is best to go to the hospital immediately for examination, the earlier it is found, the easier it is to treat. For gastric stone disease, we divide it into three stages of treatment. 1.Early stage: In the early stage of gastric stone formation, it is relatively loose and soft, and the combined treatment of Chinese and Western medicine has obvious advantages. According to Chinese medicine, gastric stone disease belongs to the category of “gastric pain” and “accumulation of disease” in Chinese medicine, and its pathogenesis is mainly due to food stagnation in the stomach and stomach, loss of harmony and descent of the stomach, loss of elevation of the spleen and stomach, and pain if it does not pass. Some patients with weak body may have mixed evidence of deficiency and reality. According to the principle of “The firm is cut, the guest is removed …… and the knot is dispersed”, the treatment focuses on “pass”, i.e., eliminating food stagnation, clearing heat from the internal organs, and at the same time using The treatment focuses on “pass”, i.e. eliminating food and resolving stagnation, clearing heat from the internal organs, and at the same time using spleen-strengthening products to support the righteousness and dispel evil, attacking and supplementing at the same time. On the basis of TCM diagnosis and treatment, the effect of lithotripsy with alkaline drugs (such as baking soda tablets) is even better and the clinical efficacy is remarkable. 2.Middle stage: the middle stage of gastric stone formation, the texture is hard, the effect of drug treatment is not good, you can choose endoscopic treatment. As the surface layer has a hard shell, it can be lassoed with a lap apparatus to first cut into pieces, and then crushed with claw forceps or foreign body forceps; if the lap apparatus is difficult to lap, the surface of the gastric stone is repeatedly grasped with claw forceps and foreign body forceps to crush the shell. Finally, inject 5% sodium bicarbonate solution to help soften the gastric stone and let it be discharged naturally. 3.Late stage: Due to the formation of gastric stone for a long time, the volume is too large, hard texture, usually endoscopic can not break the stone, only surgical treatment. How to “enjoy food and keep away from gastric stone”? 1. Avoid eating persimmons, hawthorn or black dates on an empty stomach. 2. Avoid eating persimmons, hawthorn or black dates after drinking wine or tea. 3, usually have heartburn, acid reflux and other people with excessive secretion of stomach acid should avoid eating the above-mentioned fruits. 4, poor gastric power, delayed gastric emptying of the elderly and children should avoid eating the above fruits. 5, avoid eating the above-mentioned fruits before and after a high-protein diet. High protein diet such as: seafood (crabs, shrimp, etc.), livestock meat (beef, chicken, etc.) and dairy products, etc.
