Diospyrobezoars

Diospyrobezoars
are rarely occuring phytobezoars associated with
the excessive eating of persimmons.
Diospyrobezoars are often very hard and
almost woody in consistency.
One case in medical literature from 2004
revealed a 51-year old patient who had eaten
a kilogram (2.2 pounds) of unpeeled persimmons each day for 40 years.

While a number of ailments may produce the same symptoms, the symptoms created by diospyrobezoars may include distended and tender stomach, dyspepsia
(pain or discomfort in the area between the belly-button and the sternum),
bloating, vomiting, weakness, and weight loss
