Recently, Mr. Li from Yulin, Guangxi has felt stomach bloating and stomach pain for several days. When he was feeling uncomfortable, he couldn't even eat. The doctor found a green clump about 5 cm in diameter in the patient's stomach. It was judged that this was a stomach stone. After asking, I learned that Mr. Li likes to eat persimmons very much, so the culprit of gastric stones is persimmons.
Doctor uses gastroscopy and to test the hardness of the stones and finds that the stones are relatively loose, so he gave Mr. Li a doctor's advice - drink Coke. Mr. Li drinks 100 ml of cola every day for a week.
What is surprising is that when the gastroscopy is reviewed again, the stones in the stomach have dissolved and disappeared. The doctor pointed out, "Although Cola can 'treat' gastric stones, not every patient with gastric stones can use this method."
Netizen: I know, can you eat persimmons with Cola
carbonated drink really dissolve gastric stones?
The doctor explained that it is indeed possible, but it is limited to stomach stones caused by persimmons. Persimmons contain more tannic acid and pectin. On an empty stomach, they will form lumps of varying sizes under the action of gastric acid. If these lumps cannot reach the small intestine through the pylorus, they will remain in the stomach to form gastric stones. Gastric calculi caused by eating persimmons is called gastric calculiosis. Cola contains phosphate substance, which can combine with the elemental phosphorus and calcium in our body and can destroy the polymeric substance stones of plant gastric stones.
However, patients with gastric ulcer cannot drink carbonated beverages. Otherwise, a large amount of carbon dioxide will increase stomach pressure, and gastric perforation will easily occur if you drink too much.
Doctors remind you to avoid eating a large amount of persimmons, hawthorns, black dates and other fruits on an empty stomach. If you suffer from peptic ulcers, , constipation and other diseases that affect gastrointestinal emptying, try not to eat them, and don’t eat milk, sweet potatoes, coffee, seafood and other foods that are rich and stimulate gastric acid secretion.
