Hi all,

yesterday I ate some chicken salad to quickly, didn't chew enough or to early in my program. Maybe all three. I still feel like it's stuck in my stomach. It's been over 24 hours. When standing I get this pain right at the bottom of my rib cage. I do get relief when I lie on my side. It also feels like food is trying to come up my throatsometimes..

I haven't tried eating anything today, and I am able to swallow liquids. But there's sometimes pain when I do. No nausea though.

is this normal when food gets stuck? I kind of thought it would pass in a couple of hours...

any advice would be great!

thanks!

It happens early on. Going back to liquids for a few days is usually the solution. And it's a good reminder to eat more carefully next time.

When I was 6 weeks out I started having the same symptoms.  I went to my surgeon after about a 3 days of the pain and inability to eat. Turned out to be a stricture.  I'm not saying that's what you have,  but if it's not one of the 3 other causes you are thinking it could be, then looking for a stricture might be your next step. I wish you all the best, and I hope this gets resolved soon!

I have done this four times now...but with terrible pain and inability to even swallow liquids. Usually I throw up eventually. Haven't had it last that long though.

I think we are basically at the same stage of the game.  I tried ham and then chicken yesterday and boy, did it not sit well.  I went back to protein shakes and a little bit of refried beans today.  Protein back up, horrible feeling in my tummy gone.  I had several veterans post that they were not eating meat this early (17 days for me).  I felt like the meat stayed put from yesterday noon until This afternoon.  Good luck on getting yours resolved.

I get this as well mine only passes after I throw up.  It hurts bad.  I get it when I eat too fast or if I eat raw vegetables and I'm out 6 months.
