My baby was starting to cry upstairs and I was so hungry so I grabbed a small container of applesauce and quickly ate 3 spoonfuls. Then I bounded upstairs and rocked her for a while. After a few minutes, I noticed a stuck feeling in my chest. I can swallow water and it goes down, or at least it doesn't come up...can applesauce get stuck? If not, why do I have that lump feeling behind my breastbone? Thanks for any info!

Anyhting you eat fast or gulp down can get "stuck". I have taken a couple of big gulps of coffee and had that feeling. It doesn't seem to last as long as more solid foods. Every time I rush I get in trouble.

Thanks Alison. I think I figured out that it is gas. I guess when we gulp we force a big air bubble down and it stays there until we burp it up or it filters down somehow. I tried a Gas-X strip and a little soda water and it is uncomfortable but I'm sure it will be OK soon.

Also your band has periods when it's just tighter at that time. My band might be a tighter in the mornings. Sometimes it's even hard to drink my protein shake. A couple of times it's been tighter at night and sometimes I think it's because I've been eating light all day then I try to have a meal and it's like "Oh Hell no!"

I just can't eat applesauce anymore. Planning on trying it again in a few months.
