Any one else have this issue?

I think I've irritated the lining of my stoma with a bad episode with a not-nearly-chewed-enough piece of bowtie Pasta. It wasn't bad until I got a fill Friday (about 4 days after the bowtie episode) Now I feel serious pain every time I consume anything other than clear fluids. They did a fluro with my fill, everything looked good, added .4cc. I was having first bite pain before the fill which I mentioned to my doc. He said it should NEVER hurt if I chew my food well. So he was a bit concerned.

Anyone else have this issue? I'm sticking to fluids and maybe a few very bland foods tomorrow. Today a well chewed poached egg hurt so badly I was holding my breath and white knuckling it.

I'm not having anything come back up and I certainly can feel it as it passes through the stoma. I even feel tea go through, but it doesn't hurt with tea.

I doubt you damaged yourself with the bow tie Pasta. You are probably really restricted. I can eat three to four spoons of food then I am done. It hurts to eat more. It was ok the first day of the fill, then it got worse. I am about four days out and I can eat maybe six spoons depending on the time of day. You might want a bit of an unfill if you can't get more down in a day or so. I make sure I get two chewable Vitamins and I also eat a cup of yogurt with the powdered Isopure Protein giving me 25 grams of Protein. I lost five pounds last week.

I hope you open up just a bit...but you have to eat something!!!

It isn't a matter of it hurting after eating more than a bite or two. It is eating or drinking ANYTHING that hurts except some tea or Water. This isn't a fill issue. I think the fill just made it worse because now there is very little room for anything to pass by.

The bowtie Pasta episode was bad. Sliming for more than 10 minutes, feeling nauseous but not able to pb, because it was so stuck!
