PB question



Recommended Posts

Is this something where it comes up suddenly? Is it just the food that recently went down or a good "barfing"? Can you descretly do it into your napkin or does your body shake like a vomit? If you have to "leave the table" do you have to time to get somewhere before it comes up?

I swear in all the reading, I've missed this info somehow :)

Sliming too - same questions.

Thank you!!!

I can only tell you the range of things that happen to me....

Sometimes something gets stuck and I feel myself making very thick saliva. I think it's interesting that the body can create this stuff that I've never seen before, to help something slide down. Anyway, there is time to go to the bathroom. Or at home to grab two layers of paper towels. The first time I did it I suffered. I just sat there making this gross stuff and hurting. And sweating. And sometimes with a runny nose for some strange reason. Now, I get my paper towels, spit that slime out a few times and then sometimes that's all. If that doesn't work, then I know I'm going to hurl, but it is usually a ladylike hurl of a small amount of stuff that comes up with minimal drama. Practice makes perfect. The only other thing I get is sometimes something is stuck and it feels really minor, and, thanks to another bandster here, I know to raise my arms over my head and sometimes it will go on down. I also know NONE of this stuff happens often if I sit up straight with good posture while I eat. Go figure..... I also know that some bandsters carry paper cups in their purses for emergencies. I like paper towels because they absorb. Maybe a paper cup with a paper towel in it is the best of both worlds.

In my case there is no staying at the table- the sliming is so heavy I cant talk and breathing hurts. If im at that level of sliming its not going down!! I have always made it to the bathroom- although I have also had to use the bushes outside a resturant. Later laughing because IF people saw me they probably thought I had too much to drink.

Sometimes getting up and walking helps, arms up helps to. Im not in the clear until the sliming and the pain stop!! The sliming is amazing ability of the body!! It is THICK spit and there is no disguising it so you might as well go away from the table. The harder you try to swallow it the more you make!! Blockage is blockage my slime wont even go down. Once I get that pain and block message from the stomach to the brain- I also get runny nose, sometimes even diarrhea! Go figure.

The PB is dainty compared to full blown gastrointestinal vomiting. However it is coming up. The relief is INSTANT!!

The longest slim I had was 30-40 minutes and the only thing that helped was papaya enzyme and warm Water.

I was hoping to be like so many others that never had a pb- unfortunatedly I have several a week then none for several weeks and no relation to fills. ????

Betsy...

I swear by Bounty brand paper towels! LOL

I agree. They're the quicker picker upper, if you catch my drift.
