Drinking water when you're stuck

[lea32]

We're not supposed to drink any liquids until 45-1 hour after we eat but if you get stuck, like SUPER STUCK, is it okay to take a sip of water to help the food go down. If not, do you just have to wait til it goes down by itself?

No water you just have to wait it out. Water makes it worse. Thats what I was told:)

On another note - I was told that if you drink on top of a stuck pouch you can take the chance of stretching out your stomach. (Just think about it, you poor liquid on top of something stuck where's it going to go).

Not worth the chance - it’s a big no, no for us. The best thing to do is walk, and move your body. I know its hard - but it always works it way out, up or down......

Best,

I wouldnt drink water if I was stuck, lesson learned, you will just throw it up. there is no where for it to go but up and out. Yuck! The enzimes are a good way to help when you have something stuck, eat four of those and wait it out. That is what I had to do. Then make sure you never do it again. Chew, chew chew. I can't say that enough.

I remember Dr. So specifically and emphatically saying NOT TO drink water/fluids even if stuck because of the risk of stretching the pouch. Today I experienced this and just walked it off, per Dr. So's instructions. After a lap around the house I had an involuntary cough and up came the culprit and I felt fine.

WARNING *************DO NOT DO IT***************

I am speaking from experience. Three times I had a sip when stuck - it was reflex, I didnt even think about it...well it was HELL. I thought I was going to choke to death! It was horrible, I couldnt take in or let out a breath until it all came up. Seriously, dont do it
