What Do You Do When Food Is Stuck Or Doesn't Agree With You?



Recommended Posts

If you eat something and it is stuck or just doesn't feel right how do you fix the situation?

I don't know if this is necessarily right but if I don't start gagging and if it doesn't come up on its own then I take a nice big swig of Water. It'll either force it down or force it up.

There's not much you can do but wait. I usually stand up and walk around to get gravity into the mix. I hiccup and I feel better. It's weird and my doc says everyone is different.

I have to return the offending food stuff! Not pretty or pleasant so a very good reminder about eating slowly and chewing lots.

I try to stay calm cause it hurts like heck. Sometimes I hiccup, I always get up and walk. And after awhile it goes away & I tell myself to slowwww down & not try to eat that item again for awhile.

Sit and wait it out. If it is severe, I will start to hiccup first. Then start sliming. You know then it's coming back up. To speed it up, sip Water at that point.

I just lean over the sink, cough and up it comes. I think Water would do the same thing, but that sounds worse to me! lol

I go and cough it up. It hurts too much to wait for it to decide to go down and that can take hours. Besides when something is stuck you start sliming and that doesn't go down either so you have to spit that out.

No, its more slimy than regular saliva. Had my first experience with it last night. You can be sure I will try to go a VERY long time without doing that again.

Sliming is an unfortunate experience one has right before one is getting ready to hurl up one's food. LOL. I hate sliming. The puking is the easy part.

I sometimes walk around or try putting my arms over my head. But there are times to just excuse yourself from the table, find a bathroom and puke it up. Not a great experience, so I've learned not to eat certain foods and to be extra careful when chewing.

I usually start to slime when I get stuck. Then I have to get to the nearest bathroom and it comes back up.

I find that sometimes I can eat this today but have a problem with it next time. Trial and error. If I get the same thing stuck twice I'm done with it.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
