do papya enzymes really work?



Recommended Posts

Are they worth buying to have on hand for stuck episodes? Do you recomend anything else?

They seem to. Another excercise is to lift your arms over your head or windmill your arms. I hope this is for help with something stuck.

Some folks get relief by bending at the waist. Whatever works for you is the right way.

Well ive been stuck while in the privacy of my own home before and raising my arms helped a little. But im more concerned about getting stuck when im out in public. Doing the "windmill" might get some unwanted attention!

In a situation where I have been stuck real bad and there is slime involved and throwing up is going to happen ......what I call "stuck hard "...... no, the papya enzymes are not a big help. If I just feel discomfort like I must not have chewed up something well enough, chewing about 3-4 papya enzyme tablets helps quite a bit.

They do work...I try to use them sparingly. My preference is to avoid getting stuck

OMG, yes, when it is a real bad stuck episode, nothing is going to help. I go to bathroom and do the arms up in the air thing and do a lot of praying. Agreed, if there is just a little discomford, I swear by those pills. I keep them at home, in my purse and at work. Those also help with an upset stomach, all natural. I do agree that the best answer to that question is to avoid the stuck episode if anyway possible, nothng but trouble and I actually hurt for a couple of days afterwards. You will learn down the road like all of us and enjoy the journey.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
