So today I decided to eat some frosted mini wheats. I do not like milk so I started to eat them dry. I chewed really well but after I finished my serving (1 cup) I felt stuck. It hurt so bad. I ended up sliming, gaging and retching. After a half hour of sitting over sink sliming and trying to get myself to throw up I threw up all that I had eaten. When I could get past the pain of swallowing I did get some Diet Coke down to start PBs. Well I survived but am traumatized by the whole incedent. I guess I'l be careful what kind of dry cereal I eat. -Tanya

wow - that doesn't sound fun!!! i'm thinking 1 cup was too much - no matter what kind of cereal - i usually go for 1/2c of protein and then 1/2c of veggie or fruit - almost no starchy carbs - i did eat cereal one day - reg mini-wheats and could only eat a few - you should prob stay away from the frosted variety all together - too much sugar

Been there-done that!! It is the worse feeling ever! I can't eat pizza that has been reheated or dry- I slimed both times.

The wheat probably expanded in the stomach-stick to oatmeal, cream of wheat, yogurt (with fruit or granola sprinkles. In the morning we tend to be extra tight. Have a hot beverage (tea, coffee) to loosen thing sup before you attempt to eat.

Your body is telling you what you can and cannot eat-listen to it! If it can't go down a funnel you either didn't chew it well or it simply is not band friendly.

Sure hope this doesn't happen to you again!

I've had the same problem trying to eat dry Fiber One's version of frosted mini wheats!! Both times I've gotten stuck after eating without milk, and one of those times I slimed once. It finally went down but man that hurts!!!

I haven't been brave enough to try cereal with milk...I've only eaten it dry as a snack, but not anymore!!!

Fiber One Caramel Delight tastes good and goes down easy as a dry cereal.

OMG I've done this and will never ever do it again.

Mine was one Saturday morning, my daughter had a swimming lesson, we were running late (slept in), I just grabbed a similar thing, little weetbix bites which are like little pillows and ate about six of them in the car on the way. When we got to swimming, she got in the pool, DH and I settled to watch and DH bought me a coffee.

Well! That coffee hit the dry cereal and it all swelled up and before I knew it, I was spending the entire half hour lesson bent over the toilet, with little kids going "what is wrong with that lady mummy?" And mummy saying "she's just pregnant darling". Lol. Thank goodness it was only a five minute drive home, so I could get to my own bathroom and continue throwing up for another 2 hours.

for the same reason, although i can eat bread quite easily, I never ever ever eat it with soup!
