Help understanding new pain
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 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.
