I've had this happen a few times lately. I try to chew good but sometimes go back to bad habits and scarf food down.
Typically I can make it come up but yesterday it was a piece of beef jerky and wasn't coming up. I could breathe but could feel it. Diet coke, hot coffee, banana, yogurt, all the things suggested online finally got it down but I was worried for a while because now when it happens I think about a thread here where a former member had to go to the ICU.
Anyonelse have this happen? It seems to be happening more frequently, or maybe I just worry about it more after reading that thread. Obviously chewing good solves the problem but no one is perfect and it's human nature to eat fast when in a hurry.
