I hope you feel better- I read someone said the go throught the abc's with each bite,,, maybe that is good, but maybe we need to know HOW much is a bite??

I did the same thing and had a stuck episode-God that hurt!! I woke up this morning and my throat still hurt. Yes, Chew!!! Put down the fork between bites and chew-especially anything reheated or non-juicy meats.

For dense foods like steak or chicken, I cut them into pencil eraser sized pieces, and make sure that bite is done before taking the next. Mushier foods I can take a bigger bite.

thanks guys,i'll be more cautise(spelled wrong)from now on but man did it hurt

I had a horrible episode today. I knew the chicken was too dry (fried) and on top of that I didn't chew well. I was in a restaurant and had to go throw up in the bathroom. Gross!!!
