Stuck... now what?

[Mrs_Daily 10]

I am sure this question has been asked a million times but I cant seem to find it on here. I had a stuck episode with a bite of chicken and it came up but now I keep PB and slimming with nothing coming up. I also have a lot of discomfort in my chest. I am not sure what to do. Any advice would be great. Should I go to the ER?

I have never had that much discomfort before. Maybe call and ask before going. My doctor has someone on call 24/7 does yours? Feel better. Maybe have a Popsicle

Have you tried sipping a hot beverage such as tea?

[Mrs_Daily 10]

Just made some and sipping right now... Ive never had this happen and im trying not to freak out... I think its actually working

I have been stuck 2x but those were solved by itself within 3-4 minutes. I assume drinking some liquid may wash it down, but only sip it.

You might still have a little something stuck. Go to the bathroom. Make any effort to swallow down the slime. This will cause it to build up. The little stuff will move down or come back up. Then you'll prolly want to do liquids for 24hrs as you probably irritated.

I had this happen once. I went and had 1 cc taken out of my band and within an hour whatever was stuck went down! What a relief! I still have not had it put back in and was worried I would start to gain weight back, but at 18 months after my surgery im down 95 lbs. 5 more lbs to my goal weight of 130!

Mrs D,

The bodies natural response to particles being stuck in the throat is to create mucous. This acts like a trap catching particles as it makes its way down to the stomach in hopes to dislodge or remove the particle.

If you are continuing to create slime, it's because your body is still perceiving something as being stuck.

Many times after being stuck

1) We may PB the food matter and feel relief, but in reality, there's still more there. Depending on how long the PBing has been going on and if there were any stomach spasms (as if you were going to vomit) the stoma could be tightening, making even smaller particles more stucky worthy. In this situation you just ride it out. There really is nothing we can do but wait it out, or try a papaya enzyme.

2) For those especially bad stucks where you get nauseous and vomited it can take a few minutes for the body to catch up to the reality that you are no longer stuck. These kind of stucks require more babying so let it settle down before trying fluids. Stay on fluids to ensure there's no increased inflammation before moving into mushies/solids.

Haha, just got my first lesson on remembering to chew...luckily it was only soft reclaimed ham...and was able to regurgitate it quiet easily .....but it tasted soooo good....the first time round ...lol

Thanks everyone! I actually made some hot tea and after one sip whatever was there passed and felt instant relief... I am now terrified of chicken lol
