Yes but not that long...go get some papaya enzyme tablets...it helps break it up

I have done this several times in the last 5 1/2 months since my surgery, usually the best way to relieve it for me if the Papaya enzyme tablets don't do the job,I usually end up being so nauseated that it is vomited back up and it is almost instant relief. Vomiting is probably not the best option, but it seems like it is the quickest relief to end the suffering that would continue for hours on end.

Sky, I think it was you that mentioned the papaya in another thread last week. I had never heard of it, got some just in case and thank God I had it on Thursday. My food was stuck & I was miserable but the papaya really helped. How many do you chew? My brand recommends 4 but I started with 2 & that helped. Thank you so much for the info. :)

I ate chicken last night, now I have pain in my chest dead center, it feels like something is there. I tried throwing up, didn't work and I took one papaya enzyme tab should I take more? And is this where the pain was for the rest of you? I'm nervous

According to my bottle of papaya enzymes you can chew 4-9 daily

Yeah you got the food stuck alright! It is painful and just as you described! The bubbles are because your body is attempting to process it, but cant so mucus sputum forms all around it so you can sick it up.

It happen to me today. I wasn't in hours of pain but my stomach was killing me. I had a few fried fries & clam strips. I thought I was gonna die. It came out opposite of vomiting.

I ended up calling the surgeon they told me don't eat just drink but as long as I can keep liquids down I should be ok. It still hurts but not as much, I hope it just goes away! It's been a whole day. I think it might be moving though and I was able to get my pills down. Def don't want to pay 100 for a ER copay if I have to wait it out!
