Trying to get food past my strictured gullet into my hungry stomach is a constant battle. I get completely blocked several times a day. Usually with coughing, vomiting and drinking I can unclog within the hour but 3-4 hours without being able to swallow water or saliva is not uncommon.
Coping with the discomfort is compounded by the panic which this situation always invokes.
I try to remain calm and console myself ith the assurance that it has always eventually cleared but it does distress me so.
I hope that the eosophagus stretching at the end of june will help. The adult endoscope would not go past the blockage last week and they had to use a paediatric one. Ahhh sweet!!! Still at least I won't get fat ehhh?
