do papya enzymes really work?



Recommended Posts

Are they worth buying to have on hand for stuck episodes? Do you recomend anything else?

They seem to. Another excercise is to lift your arms over your head or windmill your arms. I hope this is for help with something stuck.

Some folks get relief by bending at the waist. Whatever works for you is the right way.

Well ive been stuck while in the privacy of my own home before and raising my arms helped a little. But im more concerned about getting stuck when im out in public. Doing the "windmill" might get some unwanted attention!

In a situation where I have been stuck real bad and there is slime involved and throwing up is going to happen ......what I call "stuck hard "...... no, the papya enzymes are not a big help. If I just feel discomfort like I must not have chewed up something well enough, chewing about 3-4 papya enzyme tablets helps quite a bit.

They do work...I try to use them sparingly. My preference is to avoid getting stuck

OMG, yes, when it is a real bad stuck episode, nothing is going to help. I go to bathroom and do the arms up in the air thing and do a lot of praying. Agreed, if there is just a little discomford, I swear by those pills. I keep them at home, in my purse and at work. Those also help with an upset stomach, all natural. I do agree that the best answer to that question is to avoid the stuck episode if anyway possible, nothng but trouble and I actually hurt for a couple of days afterwards. You will learn down the road like all of us and enjoy the journey.

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
