I had LB on 2-18-08 and I have not thrown up yet. Is that PB'ing? When and why do people PB? I hope you don't think that these are stupid questions.

PB (productive burping) isn't really throwing up, it's kind of where you burp or cough, or not really and it just comes back up your throat and into your mouth, it didn't go down to your stomach or anything like that so it isn't puking.

People PB, usually from eating too fast, taking too big of a bite of food, or not chewing their food enough.

Thanks so much for the info!!! I guess I have never PB"D. I have taken too big of a bite of something and I start sliming right away. Feels like a rock is in my chest but that is it. It does go away in a few minutes and then I feel fine.

lol sliming is when saliva and mucus try to get whatever you have stuck unstuck and that's part of a PB lol

OK, so the stuck food does not have to come up. Well, I have certainly been really hurting from too big of a bite. It has just never tried to move back up only down. So then I have PB'd.

when you PB it comes back up and out. lol

For me its just like throwing up. You get this way by eating too fast or being too tight.

Froggi1985, thanks for that definition. I had NO idea what that meant.
