I had 4 or 5 apricots dried ones arount 9:30PM it is now 3AM I have been foaming and throwin up some of them. The heartburn pain is real bad although it has gotten a little better.

I have had 2 tums first one threw up, so far second is still down.

I dont think these are desolving at all!

Not sure what else to do.

I hope some one has some suggestions.

I'm exhausted and want to go to sleep.

Does not sound good at all....have you tried a carbonated drink? Always works for me.

I did try that. I finially got to sleep. My neck and face are hurting today from all the discomfort. I just had to chewable tylonals. Should I take liquid malox or something like that the sooth my esphoagus?

I'm doing Clear liquids today thats for sure.

I would definately stick to liquids for at least today and graduate tommorow to soft foods. I think that maylox would not hurt so I would do it! Good luck! Next time, rethink the apriocots.

Thanks I spoke to the Dr and he said liquids today and tomorrow.

Dianne I think you really got lucky! You could have ended up having to get an unfill as an emergency procedure! I am so glad you are better now. Take it easy!

I had a couple dried apricots a week ago, chewed them really well, and they got stuck anyway. For me the solution on this type of problem is just to bring the offending item back up via the old "PB" routine. I know this seems like throwing up to a lot of people but to me it is quite different and not that unpleasant. So I just drink a little Water and bring it back up. So far I have not had anything get stuck that I could not remove by bringing it back up.

To dissolve the food inside you you might try Papaya Enzyme from the health food store or dissolved meat Tenderizer. These things work for some people.

Good luck working it out.

The pain was unreal! I was pbing and throwing up it was the worst nightmare I have ever had with the band.

I haven't heard of the Papaya Enzyme before but I'll go buy that now too.

Thanks

You can get it at the Health food store. I have used it once, but I am not a huge fan of it. I know many find it works for them!

I had that happen too. Warm liquids seem to help. Hope you feel better.

I would be worried that in this case the warm liquids would rehydrate the dried fruit and make them swell even more. Scary, I avoid dried foods at all cost. ~Mandy
