However, although spring bamboo shoots taste good, don’t be too greedy! Recently, someone got addicted to eating spring bamboo shoots and made himself sick.

Recently, Mr. Wang (pseudonym) from Lin'an, Hangzhou, was rushed to the emergency room of Lin'an District Fourth People's Hospital by his family due to symptoms such as abdominal distension and pain, nausea and vomiting, and black stools.

After the doctor inquired about his medical history, he learned that Mr. Wang had a history of gastric ulcer for many years. Because spring bamboo shoots tasted so good, he ate them for nearly a week and developed discomfort.

After further endoscopic examination, the doctor confirmed that he had "upper gastrointestinal bleeding".

01

Why does eating bamboo shoots cause gastrointestinal bleeding?

It is reported that spring bamboo shoots have a high crude fiber content and are difficult to digest. Eating a large amount of them will irritate the stomach and intestines, damage the digestive tract mucosa, and some small blood vessels are easily damaged.

People with a history of gastric ulcers and gastritis have more fragile stomachs than other people. In addition, spring bamboo shoots are in season, and they cannot resist the "gluttonous worms" in their stomachs. Eating too much spring bamboo shoots can easily cause gastrointestinal bleeding.

Patients with urethral stones: Because spring bamboo shoots contain oxalate, they can easily combine with calcium in the body, affecting calcium absorption and even causing stones.

Children and the elderly: Oxalic acid will affect the body's absorption and utilization of calcium and zinc. Eating spring bamboo shoots will not only hurt children's stomachs, but may also affect their growth and development. Therefore, children under 14 years old should not eat too many bamboo shoots. The elderly have weak digestive abilities, poor physical fitness, and easily disordered gastrointestinal functions, so try to eat less bamboo shoots.

People with allergies: People with sensitive constitutions should also be cautious when eating bamboo shoots. Spring bamboo shoots contain oxalic acid, which can aggravate allergies, such as allergic rhinitis, urticaria, etc. You should be more careful when eating bamboo shoots to avoid serious complications such as anaphylactic shock.
