Frothing????

Hi all...hope everyone is doing well...my question this week is has anyone experienced what is known as *Frothing* aka vomiting clear flem? Sorry for being graphic but im having this problem now. I get dry heaves and wham-o before i know it here it comes. Whats causing it and how much longer will it last? I have to admit i feel alittle better after it happens. Thanks in advance Sally

It happens to me at least once a week. Usually it is when I have ate to fast or not chewed well enough. I make myself go all the way and actually bring up what it is that made me feel that way, then there is TONS of relief. Some day I will learn to slow down!!!

Me too. Usually when I eat too fast or too much. It's a combination of saliva and stomach mucus, and it's frothy cause it's got air in it. Slow down and count your bites - sometimes if you know exactly how much of food types you can have you can avoid some of this. Good Luck.

Thanks for the responses...but it also happens on an empty stomach. Man i just feel miserable tonight for some reason. I am constantly burping too...think i pulled a back muscle during one of my dry heaves LOL...Sorry to be so graphic tonight but only people on this site can relate. Feel like i have all kinds of air in me with all this burping and can't get it all out. Am i complaining to much? LOL...Hopfully tomorrow will be a better day. Thanks again Sally

Hi Sally, Not to freak you out or anything but when I went to the last Friday support group meeting at EMMC someone was talking about the "frothing" you are also experiencing...coordinator Lynn B. said to call the surgeons office to talk about it because that is an indication that there is a stricture, I think that means the opening to your pouch is too small or something like that. So I would highly reccommend calling to discuss it. Casey
