Describe for me what your stricture feels like please.

Is there anything that can be done to prevent stricture or is it just luck of the draw?

I believe it's just luck of the draw.

It's the way your body heals. They just happen to the unlucky. Lol a stricture doesn't really have a feeling. It just happens when you take something in. That's when the symptoms start.

So there is no pain with a stricture?

Well there is. When food gets stuck it takes from uncomfortable to down right painful. Makes you barf repeatedly. Often feels like chest pains.

I had mine around 8 weeks, but probably started earlier since I was only doing liquids before. Two bites, pain, then had vomit - lot of foam. Even liquids got hard to take without vomiting. Felt bad very tired no energy. Thank God much better after dilated. Now no problem.
