I'm 5 weeks out. No issues...until tonight. I ate 1 oz halibut and 1 small wedge of avocado. I guess it was too much because I'm absolutely miserable! I feel like food is rising up my esophagus. What can I do???

Try to throw up

I've never been able to make myself throw up. I wish I could!

Walk. Walk. Walk. Get things moving. Did you chew really well? Whatever you do, I would not suggest putting anything more in there until it has moved some, if not all the way. No liquids, nothing. It should go down, but it might take some time. If, by tomorrow morning, you're still having issues, call your Dr., unless you feel you need to now. Good luck and let us know how it goes.

Thank you, CanyonBaby!

Maybe the fish was too dry??

Dry foods like chicken do that to me too. Try to avoid dry foods if you can. Did you try to drink some warm fluid?

If I eat too much this happens to me too. Feels like the food is sitting in my esophagus. I then have to make myself throw up for any sort of relief. If I can't throw up I lay down curled up and wait for it to pass. It sucks!

It passed...thank God! I'll never do that again!

Try to throw up

NO!!!! If you don't throw up naturally, don't MAKE yourself throw up. That leads to really bad habits and it's not good for your esophagus, throat or teeth.

Walk, walk, walk. Climbing the stairs is best. That will get things moving more quickly.

Measure your food, chew really well and SLOW down.

It has happened to me also randomly. I walk, walk, walk when it happens and try to make myself belch which provides some relief! Throw up, no way, not me!

This is the reason I can't eat much meats yet. If it is anywhere near dry I feel like I have a brick in my stomach and it is sitting in my throat. I def think walking helps but I have actually naturally thrown up cause of the feeling. Chew chew chew sometimes til it is mush helps. Glad it passed cause it is the worst feeling EVER!
