Help!! Food Stuck And I Am Terrified

[ncdee08 2]

I thought the same thing! Trust me after this episode, I am gonna have a nice long talk with my surgeon. I am still on liquids even though the pain has passed. I'm too afraid to eat meat right now, maybe in a few days.

Stupid question - but Anatomy was never my strong subject in school...but if you get stuck...can you still breath?

Not stupid at all, yes you can breath. The pain sits in the middle of your stomach and it feels like someone gut punched you over, over and over.

Yes, I made the mistake to start eating right away after my last episode and let's just say , big mistake, big mistake....I started hurting again but the pain was not has bad.then the swelling kicked in .....so me to for liquids.

When you choke you can't breath as the blockage is in the pipe that carries both air and food. When you get stuck the blockage occurs at your stoma which is at the top of your stomach, it is much lower.
