    I've had a hiatal hernia since I was 10. It was exacerbated by food allergies. Yesterday afternoon I ate a piece of beef followed by grilled chicken. It all got stuck in a swollen area just above the sphincter and blocked me from swallowing any food or water for over 24 hours. Meanwhile, the meat rotted.
    After "working" the mass for hours at a time, I'd get bits of chicken and eventually beef, all mixed with stick phlegm. It would come out a little at a time, out of 50 to 80 attempts to dislodge it.
    Today around 6 pm, the bit of meat and chicken that was stuck in my esophagus dislodged and went down, with a swig of water. The rotten meat went into my stomach, and 4 hours later, I vomited 6 times, and then again 30 minutes ago I vomited 4 more times.
    As of this moment, I am having liquid diarrhea. It will subside in about 30 minutes to an hour, based on past experiences.
    20 years ago I got food poisoning from perfectly good steak that got stuck and rotted, then two days later, it went down. It can be potentially dangerous.
    So now it's "wait it out on the toilet." Literally.
    I hate this. It would make a good case study, I'm sure.
    But I hate it.

    This been happening off and on for about 2 years now but it recently just started to happen more often…now I see my doctor in a couple days …but water don’t work for me soda does but not all the time if I drink soda or water, and it doesn’t push the food down all the water or soda comes back up horrible felling but I found it more helpful to wait it out if soda or water don’t work it usually takes about an hour or longer to go down it’s just horrible feeling I mean I can still breathe with food stuck in my throat but just me worrying about it feeling it lodged in my throat bothers me and just makes me a little bit more worrying but hopefully the doctor tells me something and fixes this issue

      same here. Went to the doctor they gave me a test where i drank something with the constancy of thick shake and could look at it as it progressed down my throat. They found nothing wrong. Told me to see a speech pathologist which is not a medical doctor. So you gonna have to push them to find the answer because IMO they are very unmotivated if the problem is not readily apparent. Broken bones, they are great at.

    Schatzki’s ring is my problem. I’ve had my esophagus dilated three times. It always reoccurred shortly after having it done. The Doctor did not want to dilate it anymore, he said the odds of him puncturing something goes up the more he does it. But oddly enough he wanted to give me a RX for the actual dilator to use on myself at home. So I said to him, you don’t want to puncture something but your ok if I puncture something at home?

      ​​@@daniellemorales7260 first thing you guys need to do in these situations is not panic and give yourself a heartattack, instead try to sit down, relax, take a few deep breaths and not think about it for a while, while occasionally taking good sips of warm / hot tea or water to help it relax the throat and relax yourself...also some medication would help calm you down if you get anxiety or panic attack and get tachicardia or something...most important thing is to stay calm and try to snarl it out or caugh it out, if its not helping try vomiting it out by sticking 2 fingers down your troat.... If its a big piece and your choking then someone needs 2 help you get it out by thrusting you below rib cage and plexus...also i read a comment if you get in the push ups position on the floor and drop yourself on the floor quick that it might help...havent tried it but it makes sense to get it out...good luck to everyone with this problem...im also going thru hell with it..not funny at all...cheers🙏👍👊
