Stuck for 10+ hours?

I've had my 3rd fill, did fine for about 4 days. last night I ate at a friends house and the soup had shredded chicken in it. I did my best to avoid it, but almost twelve hours later I still feel stuck. No vomit, no PB. Just HURTS! How long should I wait before I call the doctors office? Its Sunday right now, so I'd be calling the on call doc. What else could this possibly be?

    I feel bad for you being stuck, I have been a few times lately. The feeling you have now maybe from your throat being sore. Maybe try some hot tea. Also, call the doctor's office I know mine has

    Doesn't sound like you are stuck, sounds like you irritated the stoma. Be careful because it's a slippery slope. Irritation turns to inflammation turns to occlusion. Best to go to liquids for 1-2 da

I feel bad for you being stuck, I have been a few times lately. The feeling you have now maybe from your throat being sore. Maybe try some hot tea. Also, call the doctor's office I know mine has 24/7 coverage. That is why the doctors are there.

Feel better. Also, sucking on a popscile never hurts.

Doesn't sound like you are stuck, sounds like you irritated the stoma. Be careful because it's a slippery slope. Irritation turns to inflammation turns to occlusion. Best to go to liquids for 1-2 days until that pain subsides to not further agitate the stoma. If at any time you cannot get any fluids or solids to pass, you will need a temporary unfill until the swelling subsides.

call now and domwhat Hazel said I didnt and got into big trouble and its a longer road back... do hot liquids that should help if not u will have to go in. Good luck

I agree that it does not sound like you're stuck. Food in your pouch is subjected to stomach acids and would break down in a few hours. If you have swelling, my advice would be to chew on ice, popsicles, smoothies? Swelling is mitigated by using ice so if your stoma is swollen shut, a little cold applied may open it up a little. Call your doctors office in the am.
