Something's stuck!

OK, I ate reheated chicken for supper...not a good idea.  Now I have some stuck.  I got what I assume is the "foamies" that I hear about on here and ended up throwing up (for the first time) but it didn't help the pain.  I chewed two papaya enzyme tablets but no help yet.  Any other advise or do I just have to grin and bare it?

In my support group they say that chicken is the worst to get stuck. Especially if you reheated it in the microwave. When I reheat mine I have been putting a wet paper towel in the microwave to give it some moisture. I think it works. Some people will say I am crazy but oh well.

My papaya enzymes say chew 4. Does yours only say 2. The only other suggestion I have is to wait a little bit and try drinking something hot to try to help it go on thru. I would take 2 more papaya enzymes and wait 30 minutes. It usually takes that long for the papaya enzymes to take effect. They will not work immediately.

Thanks, Tamara.  I didn't even read the bottle.  I just grabbed two and chewed them.  I will NOT be reheating chicken.  My dear husband was trying to help me out.  I feel much better now.  It's been a little over an hour.  Guess it finally went down.  I will try to remember the hot drink advice for next time (and hopefully that will be a loooonnnnggg time!).

I'm so sorry for your discomfort. I don't really know of anything to do, but to wait it out. It should pass with time. Sometimes warm, not hot tea sipped very slowly helps to soothe the sore esophagus. 

 

So what makes that pain in the throat?  That's wierd!

I understand that it may be a 'referred' pain from the tightness in the esophagus.

Oh Ginny, I'm so sorry you're having this.  I've been fairly lucky I guess.  The few times I did feel like something was stuck I never threw up, although it may have helped that first time when I got reheated shrimp stuck.  (wow, I'll never forget that!)  Sipping on something hot may help.  If you have any meat tenderizer, put some in a cup of ho****er, stir and sip.  Let us know how it goes.

Hi Ginny,
Having something get stuck is no fun.
If throwing up did not help I agree with the others hot tea helps me in fact I just discovered about drinking hot tea after a stuck episode a few weeks ago.
Many times after having a stuck epesode I tend to avoid that food for a long time until I get the nerve up to try it again.
Also keep in mind sometimes foods you have been doing great with for a long time can get stuck.

Thanks all.  I thought about it before I ate it and asked hubby if we had any bbq sauce or anything to help with the dryness.  Of course there was none.  I will try the hot drink next time (although hot tea always seems to make me queasy so I drink hot lemon water). 

I have trouble eating reheated chicken. I tried to eat some today and could tell it would be a problem so I quite with it. Dense meat is harder for me to eat in general. I have to eat real slow and think about chewing. That is the key for me.
