I accidentally ate the pit while eating a plum

Plum, also known as Jiaqingzi, is plump in shape and bright in color, with a sweet and sour taste. It can quench thirst, stimulate gastric acid secretion, and promote gastric digestion and intestinal motility. Plums can improve appetite, relieve stomach bloating, and have the effects of reducing swelling, promoting diuresis, and beautifying the skin. Eating them in moderation can also achieve antioxidant effects. Almost everyone can eat it, but be careful not to consume too much, as it can easily cause stomach discomfort. What should you do if you accidentally swallow the pit when eating a plum?

First, the effects on the body depend on whether the plum pit is swallowed whole or you have chewed it. If you swallow the plum pit whole, this won't have much of an impact. At most, people will feel some discomfort when it travels through the digestive tract. For example, when you first swallow it, you will definitely feel like you are choking as it passes through the esophagus and into the stomach. But if a very large plum pit gets stuck in the tiny esophagus, it can be very dangerous. If the plum pit is bitten, the impact will be more serious.

After chewing the plum pit, the first thing its fragments may do is cause physical damage to your digestive system. For example, scraping the esophagus or puncturing the small intestine. Of course, the probability of this happening is very, very small, but it could still happen.

The other is chemical damage caused by the kernel in the plum pit. Plum kernels contain cyanide, which will hydrolyze into hydrogen cyanide in your stomach. This substance is very, very toxic and can attack the respiratory system of cells. However, it is all a question of quantity. The cyanide contained in a plum kernel is not enough to pose a threat to the human body. So, in summary, the probability of this plum pit causing any adverse effects on you is very, very low, but you should still be more careful in the future and try not to eat it.

As for the issue of discharge. Generally speaking, it can be discharged smoothly. Only in extremely rare cases will it remain in your body and cause disease. So, pay more attention next time.

The nucleus is relatively small. Under normal circumstances, things that can pass through the esophagus and stomach can usually reach the anus and be discharged. So please rest assured that the lychee core will not be digested and absorbed in the gastrointestinal tract and will be discharged through the anus in a short time. Pay attention to your bowel movements. If you feel unwell, go to hospital for treatment.

Plum pits will not be digested by gastric juice when they enter the stomach and will be excreted from the body through feces. It is recommended not to worry about it and you can eat some crude fiber foods such as sweet potatoes appropriately. It is recommended that in such situations you can increase your water intake appropriately, which will facilitate digestion and metabolism and promote excretion. You should also pay more attention to avoid such situations in your daily life.

Generally, it will be excreted from the body with the peristalsis of the gastrointestinal tract. If it stays in the gastrointestinal tract for too long, it is possible that it will be digested and will not cause any adverse effects. After swallowing, smaller foreign objects will be slowly excreted from the body in about 2-3 days as the gastrointestinal tract moves. During this period, you can eat more leeks, spinach, etc. to promote the excretion of foreign objects.

Generally speaking, it is not a big deal as long as it does not enter the trachea. It can be excreted through feces and will be wrapped by food. It won’t be absorbed, don’t worry, just observe for the time being. However, it is recommended that you eat more bananas, vegetables and fruits to moisten the intestines and promote excretion.

Does anyone feel uncomfortable? I don't think it's a big deal. When I was a child, I would hold the pits in my mouth after eating meat and bones. Sometimes I ate a little bit of the pit and it was bitter. Now many peaches are not ripe and the pits are soft. I often eat the pits when I bite them. If you are a pregnant woman, you have to worry.

If a child swallows a plum pit, let the child eat more crude fiber foods, such as leeks, bananas, sweet potatoes, etc., to keep the bowel movements smooth. If your child has pain when defecating, take him to the hospital immediately. Don't rush now.

When we accidentally swallow foreign objects, the narrowest parts of the digestive tract are the three narrow parts of the esophagus. So generally, as long as it doesn't get stuck in the esophagus, there will be no big problem if it enters the stomach. It will stay in the stomach and corrode! Therefore, stomach bloating is not considered to be caused by swallowing foreign objects.
