Post nasal drip and "foamies"

[PatrickG 5]

I have had post nasal drip for about a week thanks to allergies. Today I had my second case of what I call "the foamies". The post nasal drip created a foamy mucus that sat in my stomach. I drank too fast and all of the foam came floating out of my stomach and into my throat. I was spitting that out for a few minutes. I described this to my surgeon and he said this is a form of vomiting. I guess he is technically right, but it is not like I over indulged. There just wasn't enough room for the foam and the drink. Has anyone else had this experience?

Not yet but I try to keep my sinuses clear by using a Netti pot to clean them out. So I avoid the allergy post nasal drip. Hope your allergies clear up soon.

Yes, this has happened to me twice. I have awful allergies, and was in the middle of a huge flare-up when i had my surgery, so the first time it happened was day 2 and the second time was yesterday (i'm 11 days out from surgery).

It doesn't feel like my stomach is so full, it has to get rid of it, but it does feel like something my new stomach just DOES NOT WANT in it, so i haven't worried too much.

I realized that what I was drinking had something to do with it too. I was drinking a Slurpee from 7-eleven ( I know, I know, empty carbs are bad) They put a foaming agent in Slurpee to keep it fluffy when it freezes. That and the post nasal drip combined to over fill my stomach.

I deal with rampant allergies/sinus issues a couple times a year. AND, yes, the nasal drip still fills up my sleeve, and makes eating difficult. The best solution I have found is either sudafed or Mucinex D as it dries up everything. Even at 21 months out, if I go into allergy attacks, and get sinus issues going on, I start medicating with Dayquil and pop Sudafed at night.

I haven't had it as bad as you, but anything that drains from my nose / sinuses into my sleeve doesn't get a welcome reception there. I normally cough up the drainage material, but have vomited it once. No foam, though. When it is bad allergies for me, I have some Claritin that is sub-lingual. I take one each morning.
