foamies

can someone explain this to me please. my surgery will have been 2 years ago in may and i'm still trying. i was curious though, i do get the foamies on occasion and really don't know what is going on. i understand why i dump or why i will throw up, but what is going on when this happens. i would ask at the clinic but considering i don't go in anymore, i'm sure some of you will be able to inform me. thanks in advance for your advise!

Hi - I tend to get foamies when I have a piece of food stuck.  It only happened once to me and it was a piece of dry pork roast I didn't chew very well.

It still happens to me at 25 months out. If I don't chew enough of it I eat too much of a slider food. Just a few weeks ago I ate a few gummy candy that I was craving and sure enough it happened. Sometime it's so bad that I will actually throw up. My nutritionist  said it happens when the stomach gets blocked off and your saliva has no where to go but on top of the blockage so therefore it causes a back up of saliva that turns into foamies.
