The best way to avoid a blockage is to chew, chew, chew.

I bet you will see half of it eventually. They never break down. Just like corn.

It comes out in bits of red flesh. Big bits sometimes and smaller bits other times. Not a whole tomato, silly.

Yeah wow, this site helped so much, I mean really who do you know with this infliction? No one, felt so alone and disgusted by myself every turn.
But it ended up being so damn strengthening, I got fucking moving, really only another choice.
That's
Honesty
Truth
I was damaged by a procedure and ended waking with this, I understand all of you.. perhaps you had to have it, I get it.. doesn't matter either way.
Just wanted to share that

That's like couscous was for me. All the little round balls came out in my bag, and I was like, wow, that could have gotten stuck inside me.

My quinoa did become cement and put me in the hospital with a blockage! 😬

That happened to me with a mix of rice, broccoli, and cheese sauce. I ended up in the hospital with a blockage, and they stuck an NG tube in me. Unpleasant. No food for 4 days. I was starving. But the blockage cleared on its own without needing surgery. Fortunately, I was very lucky.
