tammyg1969 7 Posted April 10, 2012 Water doesn't help because it has nowhere to go. Think of the blockage as being like a blocked loo. What happens when you add more Water? The stuff doesn't go down it sort of makes it all swirl around and come back up. Sorry if that image is gross but it was the easiest thing I could think of to explain it. LOL, that makes sense... How long does it take to usually go away? I'm learning so much from this site... I appreciate everyone's help. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
waitingpatiently 250 Posted April 10, 2012 Ok this sounds silly...but I actually did the same thing on lunch meat last week at a friends house....I was talking and eating and forgot to chew, chew ,chew...I knew instantly what I had done. I actually started to break out in a sweat!!...I felt it in my back something aweful....I didn't know what to do...and realy didn't want her to know what was going on so when she went down stairs to get the laundry I went and hung myself off the bed kind of upside down. the gravity made the food come back up.....Worked....not for sure if it happens again how many places will have a place for me to hang upside down, but just another technique we can put in our arsonal for another time-haha Hope you are feeling better now Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

xavier 153 Posted April 10, 2012 Water makes it worse but sometimes helps you get it back up...sounds gross but sometimes you need to put a finger in your throat to gag it up. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lianne 34 Posted April 10, 2012 I end up taking a large swallow of Fresca WHILE i'm standing over the toilet. That usually helps get it all out. Sometimes I will vomit for 2 hours strait, and nothing else helps. After doing this a few times that usually clears me up. Good luck! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

cakelly73 28 Posted April 11, 2012 Water can help either bring it back up, or soften the food enough that it will slide through the band. I also find that leaning back and arching your back as far as u can go helps as well. Stand up take deep breaths too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ducker2010 17 Posted April 11, 2012 Yeah, I've been told not to take a drink. But sometimes when it's stuck like there's no tomorrow I'll take a drink anyway because that sucker is coming up if I do. At least then I get relief. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
