How do you atop pb , i was told you need to chew everything 25 times nd only take small bites? Any foods even if you do this do you still pb? i tend to have problems with skin of potatoes if rosted nothin else been banded since sept 2007 but think need to hve tighter.

Prevent or stop? Prevent -- probably can't be done completely. But you can certainly help by small bites, chewing chewing chewing, not swallowing too much at once, not eating too much, not being too tight, etc. But it's still possible to PB even when you're doing these things.

As for stopping a PB - some have luck with home remedies like pineapple juice, meat tenderizer, papaya, etc. None of it ever made a lick of difference for me. If I've ever stopped one, it has been pure luck - e.g. I've leaned over the island to try and help with the pain, and maybe that angle aligned things just so...

Okay sorry but I have to ask what PB stands for-newbie!!:confused2:

Go to the FAQ section and look at a thread called "abbreviations and what they mean." Or just do a search. I know this has already been answered at least twice just today, so you're sure to find good & current information.

My doctor also said to be sure to pause between bites. I was once able to prevent by taking a walk. Other times not so lucky.

Productive burping. the air difference in your digestive system needs to come out one way or the other( if you know what I mean) I have never been a burper so I tend to have the "poots" daily.

Productive burping is not something that will come out either end such as gas. At least not as its used normally. It is the forceful expulsion of food/saliva that cannot clear the stoma.
