Yes, the slime happens when food gets stuck over the stoma (hole between the pouch and the stomach). The body makes it in an effort to lubricate the food and allow it to go down. It isn't always successful in helping the food to go down.

I am continually amazed that the body can produce so much mucous.

Hopefully, it will be a long time before you experience it first hand. :wink2:

Let me get this straight- when you slime, you're literally drooling from the mouth?

What a sight that must be. Children pointing in fear, parents screaming in horror, grabbing their children and running away from that "there's something wrong with them" wierdo seemingly looking normal, except for what I picture as a leaking hose worth of drool sloshing all over the place? LOL (kidding)

Yes, I can't wait for THAT. Funny how docs & nuts never mentioned that. Or PB'ing for that matter. I learned so much from this board, it's been a god send. :wink2:

Yes! We are back to drooling like babies. My favorite position is hanging over the sink letting it run. Paper towels chafe after a while and cloth towels get very soaked. It can be quite comical if you keep your sense of humor.

One time my DH and I were camping in our motorhome, so there is not much space for privacy (he normally leaves me in peace when I am stuck). I was leaning over the kitchen sink making my usual faces with a string of goo from my mouth to the surface of the sink. Along the string of slime were bubbles at evenly spaced intervals. Hubs walks by and goes, "oh look, pearls! Guess I don't need to get you anything for Christmas!" So I bust out lauging and slinging slime everywhere. Ah the joys!!

I think most of us could write stories about our experiences, but it is all worth it to be healthy!
