help--teeny tiny bits of celery

[johnmordecai 0]

So I'm on mushies, and I went to get tuna salad for lunch at a local deli. I'd taken a few bites when I realized there was celery in it and celery is bad for the band. But the pieces of celery were very very small. Anyway, I chewed and chewed and chewed. Now, 15 minutes later, I'm feeling something in the back of my throat, almost like something is a little bit stuck, but nothing esophogeal is happening. I'm not inclined to hypochondria, so I'm a little worried and given that it's Friday afternoon, I doubt there's much I could get out of my dr's office. Any advice?

Drink a little Water -- you're probably totally fine. It doesn't sound like you are stuck at all.

If you were truelly stuck you would know it. It doesnt feel like something little in your throat when you are stuck it feels like a huge lump in your chest. There is alot of pressure with it when something is stuck. Also, I have never heard that celery is bad for the band, thanks for the info.

Regarding celery - I was told that if (when the time comes) I eat celery, just to make sure to break the stalks in half and get as many strings off as possible. Some people have problems with them bunching up around the stomach opening.
