nygrl · July 3, 2005

I am in the middle of my worst pb yet... it just wont go away... it has been about a half hour.. i slimed about 5 times and a few chunks of the culprit(lobster) came up... I am just wondering how long this can last???

i thought it was over because a huge chunk came up...(guess i didnt chew too well tonight).. i thought lobster would be ok... guess not... anyway i still feel like crap!!! i guess there is still more stuck... do you think it will go down or do i have to bring it up?? thanks

lobster was one of my first true pb's, scallops too. and haddock, something about that texture that just doesn't agree with the band unless it's minced to fine tiny bits. be careful of rubbery textured foods, such as large chunks of seafood and eggs.... yikes..

i hope you're better now.. after this, i'd remain on liquids for the rest of the day at least. you may even want to call your doc...

The worst episode I ever had lasted more than an hour. It got worse and worse and worse until finally it came up and I found relief.

The longer it takes to resolve, the more irritated your esophagus might become. PLEASE take it very easy the next couple of days--stick to liquids for at least 24 hours and then mushies for another day. You will need to rest after this. My sympathies!

you make me laugh jack even while i am feeling so miserable...most of what is comming up are slime and little bits of lobster... there has to be something stuck that must be big... i didnt think i was eating big pieces...i have eaten crab and shrimp and no problem... i will NEVER eat lobster again!!!!!...i was afraid to drink anything but i will try what you said and hopfully it will help... thanks for responding

ok... i think it is over... i think i actually heard and felt it pass through... is that possible??.. the 24 hour liquids really is bad timing since we are having a huge barbaque tomorrow...do you think about 18 hours would be ok??? OMG... i feel so much better i dint think that was ever going to end... i8 have only pbd 2 other times and as soon as i threw up a little they were over... this was a nightmare!!! thanks guys for getting me through this!!

Glad to hear you're feeling better! You know, it doesn't take much to create this problem. Often it's nothing you would ever believe could get stuck. My worst episode was after eating some seaweed salad, and when it finally came back it was the smallest shrivel of green I'd ever seen! Probably it's not so much how it gets stuck, but where, in cases like this.

Hi Sheri...

Just read you post... I had my first PB yesterday in the middle of my Forth of July Party... I was so busy running around and hadn't eaten anything all day... I popped a piece of Garlic Knot in my mouth and boom... stuck... stuck ... stuck!!!!

I pb'd 4 times before it dislodged ....

It took almost an hour before I felt better... I never want to do that AGAIN!!!! EVER!!!!!

I am glad you are okay... how was your barbaque???

Take care

Kathy

Some people can not do the Water trick- It just makes it worse- (in my case) I can't drink with any or my meals including soup! Make sure if it happens again you try small small small sips- because it might make the pain worse.
