Stuck? Kind of stuck?

On Saturday I had some jam that had fruit pieces in it and a piece of peach slid down my throat before I could chew it. Curse you, slippery jam!:( The bit of fruit was just a little too big but it wasn't big enough to get royally stuck. There was a bit of PBing but the bit wouldn't come up. I even tried the large glass of Water trick to encourage it. PBing stopped and I assumed the bit had worked its way through. I still went to liquids afterwards because of potential swelling. Since then though, anything I put in my mouth, including liquids, hasn't really been sitting well. I feel vaguely nauseated most of the time. I had a couple of crackers today and that triggered the PBing, but again, I couldn't get the crackers up, just a whole lot of slime. I'm wondering if that bit of peach is still kicking around in my pouch refusing to come up or go down and is causing the problem.... kind of like a marble in an hour glass.

Is it possible to get a not quite stuck but not going through bit of food in your pouch? Suggestions other than the gasx or papaya enzyme?

I don't think it's likely that a little tidbit, not quite big enough to stick in your stoma, is still lingering in your pouch. I'd guess that you triggered some irritation, and that is the source of your continued discomfort.

That, and also perhaps that some of the foods you're choosing are less-than-ideal, particularly for a touchy pouch.

It's great that you went to liquids after the Cursed Slippery Jam Experience; I'd try to stick with soft foods (or even full liquids) for a couple of days to see if that helps.
