Weirdest thing while traveling

[heftyhoosier 30]

Hello, I'm 3 months out and down 50 lbs. haven't had any real issues. I was on the road for a month straight and I ran out of my prescription reflux mess and switched to Prilosec. Shouldn't be a big deal. So, I'm on a plane and put my tray table down to sleep on (530 am flight). When I wake up I have a vomit like substance coming out of my nose and mouth and down my shirt. It was gross. I'm not sure why the lady sitting next to me didn't do anything - I probably would have thought I was seizing... Anyway - I had eaten a granola bar with chocolate before that - not ideal and nothing I would eat if I wasn't traveling. Everything was closed at the airport and I was ill prepared - my fault.

My question is - do you think that was the foamies and it was worse because I was asleep? It was kind of unsettling.

Anyone else have a similar experience?

Maybe because you were hunched over on the tray table? Maybe the Prilosec isn't working for you. I have never had this happen, I could understand how it could be unnerving. Try a different over the counter PPI until you can get your prescription filled.

Wow sounds scary hefty. Hope you figure out a solution.

Maybe...I saw my doc as soon as I got home and he just told me to get back to my routine. I was only home 2 days out of the last 30 so it was rough...

Sounds like you vomited up stomach acid. I did it twice in my sleep and realized I didn't eat much the night before. I'm now diligent about eating and taking my 40mg of protonix twice a day!
