What are the "foamies"?

I am sure this is a stupid question, but I have seen this term mentioned several times within a list of negative side effects, and I am clueless.....when I have a BM/diarrhea while dumping it is kind of oddly foamy......is this it? Sorry for TMI!!

    For me, the saliva is more like slime, very thick, doesn't foam and usually once that stops up comes the food. If not then I have to force it, because the elephant isn't fun. Just eat slowly, small

When I have had food stuck...it caused excess saliva and gets all foamy all the while it feels like an elephant is sitting on my chest . For me, it would keep on and on until I would throw up whatever was stuck. So much foamy saliva I would have to spit constantly and since food was stuck I could not swallow it. Very unpleasant. Thankfully have not had that happen for months now. Hope you never have to experience it. :-)

When you eat too much or eat sometjing wrong and you feel nauseous and you produce this foamy crud that is reminiscent of baby spit up.

Its unpleasant.
