"Foamies" question

Hi all: Have a question about what I've heard you call the "foamies". Okay, occassionally when I eat, all of the sudden I get a ton of saliva in my mouth and have to spit it out. It comes on with just a little nausea and within 5 minutes, it's gone and I can finish my meal. Is that what you guys call "foamies"? Number 2: What causes this or is it different for everyone? It seems to be different every time it happens to me. Sometimes it could be I'm not chewing enough, sometimes I think I get the pouchy too full, other times it can happen right after a first, well-chewed bite. It isn't any particular food, either, like I said it changes all the time. Any help would be appreciated! P.S. I've never actually gotten from this, just feels like I could and then it's gone. Thanks for the help! Pam

Not what I would call the foamies. I usually have mucous that I have to throw up. Sometimes it continues to come up until the offending food comes out with it. But I have had what you describe too. Usually if I wait too long between meals Wendy

Hi Wendy: I do think that waiting too long to eat is a factor, too. I sometimes will eat a couple wheat crackers or something to stave off this effect. It seems if I eat every couple hours I don't have the problem so much. It's almost like my pouch rebels if it gets too empty! Thanks, Pam

Hi Pam! When I get what I think is the "foamies" it is kind of like feeling like you have to burp but getting foam instead. I have experienced the nausea and excess saliva bit too. It usually happens right after I take my Zoloft. I think I am gulping air when I take my medicine because usually one good burp and the nausea goes away. Talk to you later! Danielle

Pam~ You described what I feel perfectly. The only difference for me is that mine ends up with throwing up and sometimes all that comes up is white foamy mucus or saliva. Mine is caused by not chewing well enough or taking too big a bite. If I have not chewed something well enough I have pain in the middle of my chest and the lump of food comes up after the foamy junk. How disgusting is that? Hopefully this is normal since so many of us experience it? Sandra
