I am pre-band. I keep hearing about food getting stuck. What does that feel like? How often does it happen? What do you do? What if you can't get it unstuck?

Ok, for me this is a tricky subject. When I get food stuck it feel like it is stuck in my throat. It feels like a big golfball stuck and it wont go down or come up. Sometimes it feels like it takes my breath away. Thats usually when I jump up and start to pace the floor but I find this helps me cause I start to bump and then the feeling goes away. I usually dont try to push and eat anything else after that. Although this has never happened to me I know some of the other have PBd when it stays stuck for too long.

what is bump?

hahaha I think she meant Jump..

I've only gotten a few things stuck, but for me it is an "oh-my-gawd-let-it-stop!" sort of feeling. NOt something you want to have happen. Usually from a bit of food that hasn't been chewed well enough. Although some people can chew something to absolute liquid an still have problems with it.

As for bump, when a thread is inactive for a while, someone will "bump" it so it become active again. Only bump I can think of...

Sorry that was a big typo. I mean I start to burp when I get up and walk around.
