Hi, I got a fill about 2wks ago, today has been bad, I got stuck last night & today, I cant seem to get any relief, feeling very nauseated, I was wondering if anybody knew of anything that I can do now until I see my doctor tomorrow, thanks.

Warm liquids may soothe it, but in the meantime I'd go on liquids for a day or two. Your stomach is likely swollen from the stuck episodes and it needs time to calm.

Walking around helps me, and some hot tea maybe. Don't try to force it down with water, usually makes it worse for me. I had an episode yesterday in the car of all places. Ugh...hang in there!

I agree with sticking to liquids for a day or two and it will (ideally) pass. Just sip them as able since you are nauseated and some warm tea may help w/ the stomach and nausea. Hang in there.

Thank you all for replying, going to fix me some hot tea right now, also thanks for not judging me about getting stuck, I know that I have to do better on chosing the right food, eating smaller bites, & chewing more

It happens to everyone : ) Stand up - walk around - move your arms above your head / when you sit try to sit upright as much as possible. Don't eat anything and limit fluids as much as you can.

Good luck

Warm liquids may make your stomach feel better and help with the nausea, but if you're stomach lining is inflamed from a stuck episode, cold/icy water should help reduce swelling. The stomach is a muscle and when you sprain an ankle or get a bruise, ice is what the doctor recommends.

I agree with tmf. Everyone always recommends warm liquids but if you are truly stuck they won't go down. The crushed ice helps to reduce the swelling. Read this article by Helen who is an extremely well respected weight loss nutritionist.
