I ate a piece of toast bread that will not go down. any suggestions.:thumbup:

I would drink.... I know that they say not to, but anytime I have an issue like that, I find if I drink it helps soften the food and helps it to pass.

I wouldn't recommend it all the time.... but in the beginning when I was still learning how to eat properly, I would occasionally have the same problem.

I was always told that my eyes were bigger than my stomach. Now my eyes are TEN times bigger than my stomach! ha ha

Good luck!

Since it's a bite of toast, I agree...drink. That will soften it to mush and it should go ahead and pass.

Pineapple Juice!!!!!! It helps anything that is stuck to go down. It takes about 90 seconds and then it will go on down. I carry the little cans in my car and have some at work just in case. Drinking regular water does not do anything but come right back up. The acid in the pineapple juice usually breaks down whats stuck, and Quick!!!!!

BrendaLH, THANK YOU for the clue about pineapple juice!!!

I ate only fresh pineapple and melon two days before my surgery, and only fresh pineapple the day before, and I had no problems with gas post-surgery!!!

Oh my gosh. I totally did not thgink of pineapple juice! I am adding that one to my bag of tricks!! Wonder if grapefruit juice would work the same.
