Question:
How do I tell the difference between eating too fast and something not..
How do I tell the difference in pain between eating somthing that does not agree with me and not chewing the food well enough. I am on normal foods. Thanks.. — domestic G. (posted on February 27, 2002)

If you don't chew well enough, you'll feel like there's a rock in your
stomach and it will last a while. If you eat too fast, the feeling will
begin pass pretty quickly (within 5 or 10 minutes). You'll begin to know
your pouch really well and trust me, if you get something stuck, you'll
know, it's painful!

i find that eating or even drinking too fast or not chewing well produces
the same result...PAIN! omg does it hurt. i immediately have to stand up
& walk around to get the food moving. believe me, i am learning very
quickly to slow down. i get a very different feeling when a food doesnt
agree with me...i call it a mini dump. i feel as tho im dumping but it is
nowhere near as severe as dumping on sugar or fats. i can still function on
a mini dump, altho uncomfortably, whereas i must lay down when i have a
real dumping episode.

I have not chewed my food well on a few occasions & it HURTS. It feels
like really, really bad heartburn that comes & goes. Each time the
food is trying to go down, it hurts. Normally after a couple of tries of
going down, my food has just come back up which is perfectly OK with me
because the pain is gone.

I have a really good tolerance for most foods and don't have to chew chew
chew like a lot of people. BUT I have gotten things stuck, I guess. Yes, it
hurts! The last was beef stew and the meat was soft. Don't know what that
was about but after 3 bites I had to put the spoon down. That's how I know
that it is a physical problem and not a physiological one. If it causes a
physical problem I have to stop eating THAT MINUTE. I cannot wait or eat
through it. If it causes a physiological reaction, I can eat it but BOY am
I ever sorry I did afterwards!

I vomited for the first time today. It felt like incredibly bad heartburn
with spasms. After two minutes, I vomited up a piece of food I somehow
hadn't chewed well enough. Than I felt fine, no further after effects.
When a food doesn't agree with me, I dump with nauseau and cold sweats (but
no vomiting). Very different reactions for me. I don't know if that's
true for everyone though.
