Help something stuck
What can I do when someting gets stuck.. what can I do to keep it from happening. My Dr. feels I should not have that much restriction with just 1.5 ccs but I do!
Call the MD and tell him what happened. You'll have to be demanding with them to get what you need if they are stubborn. Let us know how that call goes.

Man - I feel your pain. I just had a stuck episode this afternoon when I was trying to eat lunch (ham slices, grapes & a protein bar) but I didnt make it past the 2nd bite of ham. I hardly ever get stuck & when I have in the past, the episode never lasted more than a minute or two,
NOT today.. I slimed for about 2 hours, unable to PB the not-so-well-chewed piece.
SO....having heard about the papaya enzyme tablets from the great folks here on OH, I stopped at Walgreens and got a bottle of it on the way home, still stuck for 2 hours. IT WORKS. Chewed four of them (no bad aftertaste) and darn if I'm not feeling a WHOLE lot better.
I HOPE you aren't still stuck (OuchOUChOUCH!) but if you are, get try some papaya enzyme. I got 100 tablets for 4.95 and it was buy-one-get-one-free. SO I'm going to keep a bottle at work and one at home.
