catfish87 3,471 Posted March 16, 2013 Don't drink, and don't eat anything else for now. If I tried to drink on top of being stuck, it'd be back up in a heartbeat. Hopefully, you can try walking around for a few minutes and it may pass. Maybe others have a good home remedy, but for me, time's about the only thing. I know you're not enjoying it, but it will most likely pass soon. 1 NicVio reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
2muchfun 8,927 Posted March 16, 2013 Please fill in your profile so we know more about you? Time will be your friend or enemy? Takes me about 45 minutes to pass food when I take too big of a bite, don't chew properly, eat too fast. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
2012 359 Posted March 16, 2013 I had a really bad episode one night with a ribeye, I tried everything and it lasted forever. When I got home, I drank some pineapple juice, not alot of it, just about a 1/4 cup or so and it finally passed through. Not saying this will work and like someone said above, sometimes this can backfire on you and you end up heaving it all up, but I didn't try to drink until probably about 1/2 hour to 45 minutes after no movement.

Rojasanoll 920 Posted March 16, 2013 The first and only time so far, was lots of time and walking helped. Do not drink think you'll force it down quicker. You will hurt more. Ane the veggies have to be cooked or like you stated, chew and chew and chew before swallowing. I let some time past on my first occurance and it seemed forever before I started feeling okay. Cutting the veggies into slivers is really helpful if you must eat them. Best wishes Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Dulci 108 Posted March 16, 2013 I have great luck with chewing papaya enzymes when I get stuck. You can get them at GNC or other Vitamin store. Some people have reported finding them at Walmart or Walgreens too. Papaya is a natural meat tenderizer and helps to break down whatever is stuck so it can pass through the band.
