First of all, what is a gastrolith? We are usually divided into vegetal gastroliths or gastroliths composed of foreign bodies such as hair, and what Mr. Li suffers from is the common vegetal gastrolith. Generally, when eating persimmon, hawthorn, black jujube and other foods on an empty stomach, because the food contains a lot of tannic acid, tannic acid and protein combine to form water-insoluble tannic acid protein, which slowly precipitates in the stomach to form gastrolith. This kind of gastrolith can cause common digestive symptoms, such as abdominal distension, stomachache, nausea and vomiting. In severe cases, gastrointestinal bleeding or acute intestinal obstruction may even occur.

But if we don't go to the hospital for examination, we can easily mistake it for a common stomach disease, accompanied by abdominal distension and stomachache, which may be caused by improper diet, such as irregular diet, overeating and cold diet. It may also be a symptom of other diseases, such as functional dyspepsia, gastritis, peptic ulcer, duodenitis, cholecystitis, hepatitis and heart disease.
Then why do some people drink cola to relieve abdominal distension and stomachache? There are two preconditions, 1, abdominal distension and stomachache caused by stomach stones; 2. Stomach stones are judged to be loose in texture and small in size by hospital photographs. Coke, as a weakly acidic beverage, is very common and inexpensive. It infiltrates stomach stones through a lot of drinking water, and then corrodes and destroys the external structure of the stones, thus achieving the effect of dissolving stomach stones. In the process of dissolving stomach stones, the symptoms of abdominal distension and stomachache will gradually ease, but stones may also slip into the duodenum or small intestine because of stomach peristalsis, leading to intestinal obstruction and other diseases, so be sure to follow the doctor's advice.

On the contrary, for abdominal distension and stomachache caused by other diseases, drinking cola can not only alleviate them, but will aggravate the symptoms and even stimulate the development of the disease. As we all know, cola is a carbonated beverage rich in carbon dioxide gas. After eating, a lot of gas will be produced in the stomach, causing bloating. In addition, the temperature of human body is quite different from that of cola, and gastrointestinal stimulation will further induce stomach pain, burping and other reactions, which will aggravate the performance of bloating and stomach pain, thus leading to the development of digestive tract diseases. If drinking cola makes the pain worse, accompanied by symptoms such as acid regurgitation and vomiting, it is recommended to seek medical advice in time, make a clear diagnosis and carry out targeted treatment according to the doctor's advice.
In addition, coke itself is a carbonated drink with high sugar and high calorie, which is a strong stimulus to people with bad stomach. Ordinary people are not advised to use cola to relieve abdominal distension and stomachache. If it is only temporary stomach pain and bloating, it is likely to be caused by improper diet or catching cold. Generally, it can be relieved by massaging the stomach, walking properly, and hot pressing the navel, without special treatment. However, if it appears repeatedly, it is mostly caused by gastrointestinal diseases, so you need to seek medical attention in time.

Similarly, when we eat persimmon, hawthorn, jujube and other fruits containing tannic acid, we should not eat foods with high protein content, such as milk and eggs. Don't eat on an empty stomach and don't eat raw persimmons. If you really want to eat, then eat after meals, and eat in small quantities to prevent stomach stones from causing bloating and stomachache.
