horrible swelling after "irritation"

[lisa 717 0]

I was last filled 3 months ago. about 2 weeks ago I started getting "irritated", i.e. more frequent sliming and burping up of almost anything I ate. I kept trying to eat small amounts and some went down, some came up. Eventually I got to the point where everything I tried to eat slimed up after about 3 bites. Then liquids started sliming up and I got worried. Dr. said 3 days of Clear Liquids, prilosec 2xday. It;s day 4 now and I tried a sip of Protein Shake this morning which was followed by half an hour of burping and sliming. Also feels like I have a knot in my chest, about half way down my esophogus. When I push on it gently, I burp. It feels like something's stuck there. Anybody else having or had this lovely experience? I'm getting hungry! At least i can get and keep clear liquid down.

P.s. more on this swollen condition: I also burp up a lot of white foam when i'm past the sliming phase. What is this?

GIRL YOU NEED TO GET SOME TAKEN OUT! I was like that and didn't do anything. Eventually I was swollen shut and couldn't even have Water. I had to be completely deflated and back on liquids for 2 weeks. It was right around my 18 birthday too so it sucked.

I felt like something was stuck too but there was nothing there. I waited 36 hours to see if i could pass it and I couldn't. GO TO THE DOCTOR!
