Okay maybe that was a bit dramatic but I do feel this way sometimes
Hey guys,
I have this problem, and have since day 1, of post nasal drip filling up my pouch and then making me really sick when I try to eat. I have had very little side effects from the surgery but the number 1 is throwing up due to this reason. I am ten years post op and some weeks are better than others but on a bad week, I still throw up like 3 to 4 times a week. I am so TIRED of being sick. I have used a few things to try to help it, drinking hot tea, taking allegra in the morning whether i feel allergies or not, eating only soft foods. Once I'm sick I have found the only way to clear my pouch and make the dreadful feeling stop is drinking broth...full sodium broth which makes me swell up and it's happened 3 times this week. I want to go see a specialist but have to wait until I get a job and get insurance which is going to be awhile. I have read other people having this problem, what I want to know is if you do, how do you handle it? Also ladies out there, Have you had any notable differences in your food tolerance around your TOM? Stress really plays a big role in my food tolerance and I have notable aggravations around TOM.
Thanks everyone ^_^

I had this problem a while ago but I went to the regular doc and they gave me a medicine that I think started with a C. It dries up the post nasal drip and finally gave me peace at night. The over the counter stuff never worked only the prescribed exporant (i think it was). I'm not sure what country you live in, but if you don't have ins, try a free clinic or state medical services. If you don't mind paying some, go to a urgent care facility.0

i getthe same thing when i get a cold , can i suggest going to see a chiro - they tend to be cheaper than a regular doc, and getting that in line , and mentioning to them this constant issue, they can usually help - it worked for me .0
