Slimies. Foamies.

Other than "you will know". How do you know you're sliming or foaming? Are they the same?

    Feeling a little better. I did about 30 laps around my living room. It's a townhouse so not much room to walk. My husband suggested I go outside and walk around the cul-de-sac but i can't walk around outside belching my fool head off! My neighbors would think I was drunk! LOL! I guess no more turkey burgers for me.

    Don't worry it doesn't happen very often. And some people never have it. This is my third experience. It is disgusting and for me rather uncomfortable but it passes. I'm still learning and sometimes make mistakes. That's what happened tonight. I ate too much and too fast while watching TV. Should know better but old habits die hard.

    It's ok Molly, a lot of us have never had it!

    Just remember to pay attention when eating.

    Things like the tv can be very distracting, so it's best in the beginning to eat at the table :)

    My slimies came from eating too fast/too much. My own fault and I'm working to fix bad habits.

    Only one time I slimed on a small bite of Pasta. I'm just not ready for pasta and My stomach rejected it.
