Re: Stuck food

Thanks for the info, Sue! Yet another situation where we all have dysphagia, but not the exact same disorder.

I came across TOFS this week, an organisation/charity for those born with Tracheo-Oesophageal Fistula. I was reading their newsletters and found reports of/from children who get 'stuckys'. It moved me to tears to know that these children are undergoing the same problems as Stephi does sometimes, although they have a completely different condition which was corrected by emergency surgery shortly after birth. They also suffer problems with lack of peristalsis, strictures and reflux as a result of their operations.It opened my eyes. I have been quite dismissive (in my mind, not to their faces) of people who have told of a relative who has similar problems to Stephi because it just could not be achalasia. Of course, it need not be. These people have almost exactly the same problems day to day.If you're interested, you can read more onhttp://www.tofs.org.uk/index.html-- SueMum to Stephi, 7yoNottingham UK

Has this happened to you before? If it happened to me, I would call my

doctor ASAP.

Hi Tamara,

I had this last summer. It was

horrible. Got stuck on a Wednesday night. By Friday, I had gone to the

lake with my nephew. Well, I think the cold water must have squished my

lungs or something…cuz it popped right down. That was even better –

the fact that it didn’t come up while swimming…YUCK!! I know

this is a little drastic since its only April….but who knows.

Maybe a cold shower? I have no idea. Otherwise go to your family

doc in the morning. See what he can do for you.

Take care,
