I had a creamy tomato Soup (thick, cheese based) about 2 pm. It had corn and tomtoes in it but I did only ate the soupy stuff. (I'm supposed to be on mushies right now.) I must have over-eaten. It feels heavy in my chest still, about 5 hours later. Just under my rib cage. I feel very full.

I don't think it's stuck, but how do you know for sure? It feels like it is working its way down, but very slowly. I am sipping some warm Water right now. I am surprised at how full I still feel and while it's good to be satisfied, I wondered if this is normal or if the food is stuck...

I think you probably just over-did it a little. I over ate once during mushies and I felt yucky for hours. But, when something is actually stuck...it usually feels different for me. It's an intense, heart pounding sorta thing and yours sounds like a ehhh, my pouch is too full kinda thing! I'm guessing you'll be feeling better soon. Good luck!

When food gets stuck you have a sharp and sudden pain in your chest area. If I hadn't read about it before it happened, I would have freaked out!

You'll know when it happens.

I just had my first stuck epidsodes.....two in two days! In my case it was a sharp pain in my chest about 10 seconds after swallowing, followed by a lot of spit or some people call it slime....which I figured out quickly to spit not swallow! After a lot of spitting in the sink the pain subsided and all was fine....felt like throwing up, the tingly feeling I get before upchucking was there but nothing actually happened. It wasn't as horrible as I'm making it sound, not a great thing either but definitely nothing to be afraid of.

When I am stuck, I feel it. It kind of sits there, some people call it the golf ball feeling. When I was stuck on a cashew (which I don't recommend eating) I felt it for days. When it passed, it was wonderful.

Believe me when you are stuck, you feel it. And I can get stuck, or get that pain, on liquids first thing in the morning. Just stop, wait, and try again later.

Good luck...

Thanks! Feeeling better today.

if you get stuck do you feel it immediately after you eat? or can it be the next day? on saturday, i felt a squeezing in my chest like i couldn't breathe, i had only drank a protein shake that morning and had eaten nothing... could it have been from the night before?

some say chew a papaya enzyme tablet it helps the block. Or drink a little pineapple juice.
