Ok I NEED A LITTLE ANSWER OR TWOLAST NIGHT I GOT STUCK BAD. I HAVENT HAD A FILL IN TWO MONTHS SO I DONT KNOW WHY I HAVE A LOT MORE RESTRICTION. I TIRED HAVING A BITE OF MEAT YESTERDAY AND HOLY OWWWWW

SLIMING, PB, THE WORKS. NOW ITS 430 AM AND IM VERY THIRSTY. I DRANK AND IT DIDNT COME BACKUP BUT IT DID HURT....AM I JUST SORE FROM THE PB???

You are probably just sore. After a episode like that, I stick to liquids for 24 hours. You may even be swollen for a day or two, but it should get better pretty quickly. If you are still hurting after 24 hours of liquids, you need to call your doctor.

After a real bad sliming episode I was very sore for a couple of days. No worries, just take it easy!

Stick to liquids today, if you think you still have something stuck, swallow a little bit of meat tenderizer. I have also heard pineapple juice helps, but have never personally tried it.

And remember for the future -- chew, chew, chew.

You might also want to take some liquid Advil or Motrin. It reduces inflamation. This has happened to me before and that is what my doctor suggested.

Belive it or not...coca cola works too. My doc put me on to this...I was stuck bad, drank some coke...the carbonation or something worked and 'got unstuck'. lol. Definately liquids for 24 hours to reduce inflammation.

oh thank you al so much. i just dont understand how i havent been filled for two months and im just now feeling restriction??? does that make sense

Yup. Sometimes I find it just 'kicks in' especially if I am eating what I am supposed to be eating. Just be careful and make sure you are getting enough liquids so you don't get dehydrated. I find when it is that time of month I have serious restriction...don't know why.

you are all so wonderful....thank u :thumbup:

For what it's worth....my doc strongly suggested AGAINST the meat tenderizer thing....because your stomach is...well, MEAT.

She did mention the pineapple juice or papaya extract, though.

I highly recommend Papaya Enzyme. You can get a jar of the tablets in Walmart in the Vitamin aisle or in GNC. GNC has the lil purse size tins as well. I never leave home without it. I pop um if i feel even the slightest bit of discomfort and it seems to move things along quite nicely and they taste great too!

I have found that if I get stuck really bad, sometimes whatever it is hangs around in my stomach for a day or two and liquids kind of go around it.

I would definitely baby your stomach with warm liquids for a day or two, especially if you are still sore. If you try too much too fast, you might just get stuck again and increase the swelling.

I'm just envious that you are able to go 2 months without a fill!!!! Everyone here had great advice for you to follow - good luck!!

Meat tenderizer (Adolfs at least) IS Papaya

A book my surgeon hands out to all his patients suggests it.

I wish doctors would get together and come to a consensus on what is allowed etc.
