 I know that doesn't sound like a great topic to talk about.. But I have a question.. The other day I was eating dinner and SHAME ON ME...  I ate it way to fast! All of a sudden I got this weird TOO FULL yucky feeling in my pouch.. It was like up under my ribs.. And so, I thought,, "am I going to throw up??" So I went into the bathroom, sat in front of the toilet and then I gagged and this WHITE FOAM came up.....!!!!! What's up with that???? What was that??? I have no idea so, I hope someone could tell me.. And it wasn't acidic.. Is that what it's like to throw up..?? I had no food just that.. And only one "gag' if you will... Hmmm thanks for the help!!  Tarka

Hi Tarka, When I've read the Main Forum board they call this having the foamies.  It's a form of dumping.  It's normal from what I understand.  Hope this helps.

You got the foamies! Oh aren't they fun!  It happens because your pouch got too full and your saliva has no where else to go but up!  It isn't acidic because it hasn't been partially digested.  Pretty much comes up it the same form it went down.  It is regurgitation not vomit. It shouldn't be under your ribs though, your stomach pouch is near your upper chest.  I have just stuck my finger down my throat to just feel better. (And no I don't do that just to eat something bad)  LOL And you do feel much better after you throw up.  Whenever I get the foamies, it is a sign that I am surely going to throw up.
