paula 4 Posted November 20, 2005 Just wondering if this is something of concern... Yesterday afternoon I ate bites if food #1. Had Water here and there afterwards, everything went down well. About 2 hours later we had supper (food #2). I could feel the food going through my stoma. Then the flow of food was stopped! After several different attempts of trying to get my food to "pass" I ended up having to pb. Here's the strange thing... I pb'd particles of food #1. Some of food #2 came back up, but not all. Anyone else experience this? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NJChick 3 Posted November 20, 2005 No, but it sounds like you just didn't digest #1. What was it that you ate. Is it the first time eating this? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
paula 4 Posted November 20, 2005 Is it the first time eating this? No! Its was shredded roast beef, I eat this very often. And b/c I was able to drink Water for 2 hours afterwards, Im assuming I wasnt "stopped up". Then, I was able to eat part of my supper (nachos), before the "attack" happened... so, thats why Im not sure whats going on. Its almost like particles of that roast beef stayed in a portion of my pouch, then tried to make an escape with the nachos, but didnt! Sooooooo, where was the roast beef hiding for 2 hours??? Thats what has me wondering... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
giveyouthemoon 4 Posted November 20, 2005 Okay....I'm sorry that I know this information....but after being a bulimic for almost ten years, I have of course seen all kinds of things. It has been my experience that things like meat take a long time to fully digest. Refined carbs like bread and stuff break down faster. I'm not surprised that some of the beef came up even several hours later. It just takes a long time for your tummy to break it all down. I think that's probably why the docs want us eating hard Protein like that, you stay fuller longer. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
HarleyNana 10 Posted November 20, 2005 I figured item #1 was beef, I've heard stuff like steak takes days to break down. Makes sense that it would keep you full longer too. chips disappear entirely too quickly. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
