I've only had to use it once, when I had chicken/broccoli stuck. I only had to take one pill, and I got relief.

The bottle I have says to chew 4 of them. I've tried several times but it's never helped me, it's always ended up coming back up anyway.

I have taken different amounts at different times. I usually start with 2. If it's gonna work--it usually works with that. Sometimes I take a few more as I see it working to just help more. The tabs are cheap and won't hurt you.

My bottle says to take 3 after each meal to help with digestion, so I just do that. Usually works. I haven't PB'd yet! Of course I've only gotten stuck a couple of times but it's helped each time. I do also take them after lunch and dinner. They're good for you.

I bought my papaya enzyme this weekend "just in case" and used it today when a triscuit was uncomfortable. I chewed one tablet (yummy too) and it worked great! I really reccommend it!

I just had another fill and tried the papaya enzyme becasue a piece of fish got stuck and it worked immediately. I highly recommend these tablets. I tried another suggestion (pineapple juice) and this did not work for me.

all I know is when something gets stuck it really sucks. and hurts too. I would say chew your food well and make sure it is not dry when it goes down and you wont have any issues. I have had enough stuck food from being in a hurry that I never eat fast anymore and I never take a phone call when eating ever. Because I always forget to chew well when talking on the phone and it ends in a stuck food deal no matter what I am eating. Yes it sucks and hurts and I hate to bring it back for a second look. You all know what i mean. Yes it hurts. no it's not fun. I do everything to not have it happen ever. Sometimes I get stupid and eat to fast and forget to chew. oh yeah and eat the wrong food. .when you think you should not eat it don't eat it. Scotty d

oh yeah Paypaya or pineapple both work for me but I still have a second look. and it hurts. any questions.

I have found that the papaya enzymes work for me. But I have also found that the pineapple juice has also worked. I keep both on hand, just in case.

I carry a bottle of the enzymes in my purse and have a can of pineapple juice at work. Better safe than sorry!

I too carry Papaya Enzyme with me at all times just in case. I usually chew 4 at a time like my bottle says, but if I am really stuck and in a panic I have doubled it to 8. I also give these to my husband (not banded) when he has a tummy ache and it helps him more than tums or pepto bismol does.

I have also tried meat tenderizer when I'm stuck, but that stuff tastes awful and makes me feel worse. I haven't tried pineapple juice.< /p>
