First Foamies

[Lisa XO 117]

Last night I got the foamies and was absolutely miserable for many hours. My body tried to vomit a few times and couldn't. I finally threw up a bit of Water this morning and feel better finally.

I have only had water today. I am kind of afraid to eat, to be honest. I never want that to happen again!

Any advice for helping the foamies pass faster other than throwing up?

If I did have any advice I’d very happily share them. They can be unpleasant & embarrassing if in a public bathroom. I swear some people look at me as if I have an earring disorder as mine usually results in regurgitating either the excess saliva (spitting it out is often not enough) or what ever is stuck & causing the problem. But at least regurgitating isn’t as awful as vomiting used to be (no strained muscles & awful heaving) & after I bring up the offending bite, I feel okay & can continue eating albeit carefully. Otherwise I just have to let it pass in it’s own time.

All you can do to at least reduce it’s occurrence is avoid dry or coarse food, eat small bites slowly & don’t eat more than you need. Sometimes it can just be my fussy tummy like last month when it decided it didn’t like tasty cheese anymore - lots of saliva & up it came. Mine can also occur up to an hour after I’ve eaten - never understood that.

Foamies are very random for me. One day I can eat something and the next my body rejects it. I still have problems but its occasionally now. The last time I think it was because a little bit of red pepper skin that got stuck. I got used to them early on and they are something that I can deal with secretly but they are still uncomfortable.
