Question:
I am burping up my dinner 16 hours later... is there something wrong with me?

I had Tuna salad and a little bit of string cheese for dinner last night. I was finished eating at 7pm. I had nothing else to eat. All morning today, (and it's 1130am now), I have tried to drink some water, and I got the bubbles again. When I finally burp, I get a tiny bit come up and it's TUNA! I have been to afraid to eat today, so I have been trying to push the water, but only have gotten down about a cup and a half. What's wrong with me?? Thank you for your answers, Annie    — Annie R.

Hi Anne! Did you have your gall bladder removed also? I had mine removed a few years ago and certain foods "repeat" on me for hours after I eat them!

Well, just shooting in the dark and someone else will go into detail, but have you been scoped to see if there is any sort of blockage at the outlet? Before you think your mind is gone or that you are naughty, check the mechanics, OK? Might be a simply matter of scope & fix or scope & meds and find yourself being fine in 24 hours. But that's the doc's call.

I now when this happens to me, I have not chew my food long enough. My Doc told me to chew my food til it is like applesause. I have had food to sit for a long time in my pouch. So, I take smaller bit with foods that are tougher and chew more.
