Question:
I think something is stuck

My surgeon has me on Juice+ vitamins. At 2 weeks I should be able to tolerate an entire pill. I am almost at 3 weeks. I haven't had any trouble up until last night. I think I didn't drink enough water to dissolve the pill and I think it's stuck. I've thrown up a couple of times and it's tasted bitter so I know all that's left in my stomach is the vitamin but it feels like it's lodged. I took a tums and it seems to be helping but now I'm afraid to eat anything. Is there anyway to tell if something is stuck and are there are any suggestions of ways to dislodge something?    — Robin O. (posted on September 24, 2001)

If you've swallowed a TUMS, there's your answer: if that passed into your stomach, then the passage can't be blocked.However,if you're truly worried, see your doctor.

The best advice i was ever given to dislodge something is to drink some hot tea.
