food stuck and can't hold anything down

[Lis123 0]

I'm assuming that that is the problem. I'm thinking a few days ago I ate some blackberry cobbler and ever since then I can't seem to hold anything down. I have been banded for 11 months and have lost 70 lbs. but I never came across this problem. I have moved and will be making an apt. with one of the Fill Centers USA tomorrow but in the mean time is there anything I can do?

Everytime I get stuck my stoma seems to get irritated for a few days and I can't hold anything down if I try to get back on solids right after an episode.

So now if I get stuck, I go back to Optifast for 2-3 meals right after, then ease my way through a mushy meal before trying solids again. It usually works well and gives any irritation time to subside.

I had an episode yesterday that lasted over 4 hours (I felt wretched) so am on Optifast today. Give it a go, it may help while you're waiting to talk to someone.

lellow, thanks for the advice. I read on another thread that slowing drinking pinapple juice works. So I ran to the store and bought some and sure enough it really worked for me. I am so relieved. I will stay on liquids today and tomorrow to help my poor tummy get better. And I will keep pinapple juice stocked!!

pineapple juice almost always induces an instant asthma attack for me! But in a worst case scenario, it might be worth trying. Thanks for the tip, Lis123. :smile2:
