What is sliming and a couple other side effects (with initials) people are talking about?

Hi: PB means productive burp. If you eat too fast or are too tight or don't chew your food, the food won't pass through from the pouch to the rest of the stomach. A pain starts and grows stronger until you can't stand it anymore. Then you must bring it up. This PBing is not like a regular regurgitation with foul tasting bile. The food is encased in a cacoon of slime and comes up as a lump. You will then "slime" for a short time after PBing. The slime is saliva that you swallow as you try to get the food to pass through the pouch. Not a scientific explanation, but the best I can do. Maybe there are nurses or other professionals that can answer this better. Hope this helps a bit. Doddie

Hello and welcome!

There is a very important forum for beginners to read, it's the FAQ forum:

Here's a link to a thread in that forum that should explain many of the initials we toss out:
