Last night I felt like a piece of my dinner got stuck. I pb'd within 30 minutes, but still felt uncomfortable. Went to sleep, and 4 hours later, pb'd the same food (disgusting!). Since then, I am having pain with mushies (went on mushies today thinking my pb from hell would have made me a little swollen).

My question......is it normal to have pain for a day or two after a pb from hell? OR, do I have to worry about something else?

TIA

Pam, I wouldn't say it's "normal" but it is indeed possible. BABY YOURSELF before it gets worse. Irritation begets irritation, and many people have discovered that eating solids too soon after a bad episode just starts the cycle anew.

If this were to happen to me I'd stick strictly to liquids for a week. You may think that's a bit much, but I really think that's what I'd do. I've had two bouts of terrible reflux over the last two years that could only be alleviated by an unfill, and I think at least one of them was brought on by my not letting my system heal from just what you're describing.

Be careful, and let yourself get better before trying solid food again. We're delicate organisms and have to remember that sometimes!

Thank you! I'm going for a first fill on Monday and really want to feel like I need it (like I did before the pb from hell).
