I had a turkey burger with a portabello mushroom for a bun and WHAM! I slimed for 15 minutes. I'm pretty sure the mushroom was swelling in my esophagus. Anyone know if mushrooms swell?

Well mushrooms are spongy, so I'm sure they could well

Yes, mushrooms swell. When my brother had diverticulitis and a clostomy, I made him homemade mushroom Soup. He thought I tried to kill him and made me drive him 40 miles to a dr in a blizzard (it took over 3 hours). The dr said mushrooms are known to swell and he wasn't going to die...

I do eat mushrooms but in very small bites and chewing well. Crab stuffed portabellos are awesome. Celeste

I haven't had a problem with mushrooms, but I chew them until they are liquified also.

Can't do mushrooms. Which is sad because I love them cooked in butter. Wait, maybe it's not a bad thing. Again, the band is a saviour :-)

I do eat mushrooms, however I have to chew them really good. I think I have more trouble with them not digesting like regular food, they seem to stay in small pieces no matter how much I try to chew them. If I don't get them chewed up really good, then I have trouble with them.

Well that explains it then. Thanks everyone. Crab-stuffed portabellos... mmmmmm. Do you have a recipe for it, Celeste?

I don't have problems with mushrooms either!!! I actually ate some crab stuffed mushrooms for lunch!!!:guess :confused:

Oh poo :-<. Yesterday I saw a really yummy looking recipe for little pizzas made in big field mushrooms. I was going to try it! Maybe I will, whilst I'm still unfilled. I'm a bit apprehensive now though.

No mushrooms, olives or potatoes, instant :spit:spit, LOL.

Hey do eggs swell? I was eating some scrambled eggs at IHOP this am and was fine with my pancake until I took a bite of that egg.
