Do I Need To Go To The Emergency Room?

It's possible.

Funny you say a "bad egg" and your avatar is a little chick!  How ironic, yet funny.  But I digress...

I had the same thing happen last week with chicken breast. My pain was excruciating all night long and I was seeing little steaks of blood when I would vomit. The very next morning I went in to see my doc. They did a CT scan and nothing was wrong. I had to drink two huge cups of contrast and then get an IV for even more contrast for the scan. I had NO pain the next day but for my own piece of mind I had to go in.  It's your call but it may pass. You will just have to be in misery until it does.

Thanks, Steph.  Yeah, I think I can wait until morning.  I don't feel so bad right now.  Whew!

A good rule is to stick to clear liquids for 24 hours after getting sick - especially as early out as you are. It gives your pouch a chance to settle down.

Don't want to tell you not to go to the emergency room just in case something is wrong but it might be that you cannot tolerate eggs yet. In fact you are pretty early out to be eating them. Eggs are tough and a lot of people have problems with them. I still have problems at times with them.
I threw up a lot early on because of strictures and was told once your pouch is upset you need to take it easy with the eating. I was told to go back to full liquid diet until it settles down. Hope you feel better soon. Julie

The eggs ... that"s the funny part.  First of all, my food plan says I can have boiled eggs with mayo.  I've eaten earlier during this past weekend, and I even made a deviled egg salad in the food processor last week which I tolerated just fine.  But today ... today was different.  I truly believe I may have eaten it too fast or didn't chew well enough.

I like your suggestion about possibly going back to liquids until things settle down.  I think that would be a good idea for me. 

Yesterday was the first time I've thrown up since I had the surgery, and that was because I swallowed too much water at one time with my morning pills.  Other than that (and this afternoon/evening, of course), I've had an uneventfull recovery.  Just seems like I'm making up for lost time or something!

Our pouches are fickle beings.  One day your pouch can like something and the next time you eat it your pouch will rebel.

I don't know if this will help you, however my NUT told us if we ever get something stuck to take some unflavored meat tenderizor (Adolph's) and mix it in a small amount of warm water and sip it. She said it is like draino for Bariatric patients and will help break down the stuck item.

I hope you get relief soon...there is nothing worse than something getting stuck! Ouch!

That's a great idea!  Unfortunately, meat tenderizer is the one thing I don't have in my spice cupboard!  SHOOT!
