Question:
does anyone get foam that comes up
I find sometimes when i eat...or especially when i take hard vit, i get foam...usually the feeling that accomadates it is this feeling that i swallowed a rock, and i keep drinking and then i just keep burping and getting foam...i have so much trouble swallowing my vits, i even creak them up...i tried chewable but they just make me feel sooo nauseated...am really nervous cause i know its soo important to take...could i be getting a strider...since i get so much pain swallowing such small things what are the symptom,,,thanks everyone in advance for your answers.

I'm only 16 days post and I'm starting to eat some foods that aren't full
liquid. And when I eat too much or too fastI get the same thing. I start
burbing and up comes the foam. Not the most pleasant experience. I guess
it's a good reminder I'm not doing exactly what I should. Joann

The doctor told us at the support meeting that some people's new pouches
produce an excess amount of mucus at first. I had this problem too but at
about 3 months out it stopped for the most part. Occasionally I still seem
to have a little foam when I get sick.

Hi Dawn: Good news. The difficulties early post op don't last too long.
I had a rough second and third month, and then never really had anymore
trouble. What I found the two times I threw up was that if you spit out
that foam instead of swollowing you'll feel a lot better. It's a pain, but
that's my suggestion. Hope that helps. S

Hi Dawn...i can relate totally of what your going thru. The last few weeks
have been hell on me with the foam. But with me its acid reflux thats
causing it. No matter what i eat it burns I ended up getting a prescription
from my surgeon for a liquid medication...its a god sent. Just hoping it
cures itself and i don't have to keep on the stuff. My advice is to check
into this acid reflux because you don't need to suffer. Good luck to you

I am just 2 months out and up until 2 weeks ago I was getting the burning
and foaming in my throat with alot of the foods I ate. They have stopped
now so just hang in there, it does get better. Lisa

I also have the foam problem. At times it gets very irritating but once it
comes up I am fine. I have my 4 week checkup next week so I am going to
talk to the doctor I will post what he suggests.

Yea, I have the foaming thing. At the hospital my Surgon gave me something
like GasX liquid to kill it, since for me it was a combination of my saliva
being fairly thick and being gaseous at the same time. That cured it. I am
hoping it's not a forever thing and that it'll go away soon. I had some
yesterday and yes the best thing is to just spit it out. it won't go away
if you swallow it. The Zantac my MD perscribed after I left the hospital
helped a bit, but it's NASTY stuff. I'd rather just spit the foam. :oP
Today it hasn't been an issue, so time will tell.
