I'M WORKING ON IT GOD DAMMIT.
I had a conversation with bossman yesterday. I'm at the point where we're shipping out stuff to be analyzed/etc and we just looked at each other and said "um, yeah, I've got nothing to do for like 10 weeks now. Um. Doot dee doot..."

I like the AB in the GB
its not an allergy technically. The allergist best he can figure out is that its a reaction to certain protein chains or contaminants in certain foods. Its really not well understood, so at this point, we're just treating the symptoms.
There isn’t a driver update you can install to correct the problem?
Is it like it gets stuck in your throat but not choking? And you can't get water past it, it comes back up? Try the coke trick next time. Also don't burn your steak

Dr. Madsen: Yeah, and usually men and usually kind of, maybe, middle-aged men are maybe watching a game or something. I don't know. I don't know the exact circumstances, but they're eating large pieces of steak and eating it too quickly.
Maybe they have some underlying issue with the esophagus, with the food tube that goes to the stomach, where maybe it was narrowed or something like that and makes them a higher risk for this. They'll be eating it and then it just gets stuck in the esophagus. And then they come in and they're usually holding like a bowl or some sort of basin or something, because they cannot swallow their saliva. Nothing will get past this food, so they're spitting it into this thing and it's very obvious what's wrong.
Interviewer: Yeah.
Dr. Madsen: They've got this food lodged in there and I'll ask them, "Okay, where is it?" and they can usually point right where it is. Most of the time I kind of find it's their upper throat, like you if you feel on your neck kind of where it hits the sternum there, the top part. They point right at that point, that's the common spot. Otherwise they might point down lower chest kind of towards the stomach. Those are the two points where we really see this food get stuck.
So, if this happens at your home, there is something you can try and it's something we can try in the ER as well. But it's not a bad idea just to give it a shot, and that is to try and drink a Coke. And you're not going to be able to swallow the Coke because it's not going to go past the food, but if you can get a little bit down your throat and let it sit there, some way this works.
And I've kind of wondered how exactly does it work, maybe just the carbonation that kind of relaxes things in the esophagus and maybe helps that to move down. I don't know if it's the acidity of the Coke. That it would be that rapidly acting, I have a hard time believing it, but it is a trick. It's in textbooks. You know, anecdotally, maybe I can say I've seen it work. In talking to other ER doctors, they say, "Oh yeah, I've seen it work now and then. I've tried it and it seemed to do the trick." My guess is that's probably going to work more for something think you can feel that's down lower, closer to the stomach, maybe that just has a little bit further to go. But I think you can give it a shot, but if that doesn't work, you're going to have to go to the ER.
Interviewer: All right. So, is that one of the first things you try in the ER, is the "Coke Trick"?
Dr. Madsen: I can't say I reliably try it. I have a couple of times in people where it's down low. You know the case, like I said, where someone comes in and they're pointing to their upper throat, I'm just like, It's not going to work, you know. But down lower, I've tried that. There's also an IV medication we can try in the ER, but typically those things go to where we're calling the GI doctor in. They're going down, pushing the food down all the way in the stomach, or pulling it out so it's out of the way.
Interviewer: Gotcha. So try the Coke thing at home. If that works, hey great, be more careful next time. Smaller pieces like your mom told you.
Dr. Madsen: Like your mom said, chew your food.
Interviewer: That's it. And if it doesn't work, that is something you need to go to the ER for.
apparently i have a microcode flaw in the immune subsystem. Unfortunately, thats a core system that cant be updated.

Thats precisely it. The diagnosis is EOE. My airway is never obstructed, but a lump of food just stops moving. if i drink water, the water sits on top of the lump and makes it worse.
What ive found works best for me is to make double triple sure i chew everything extremely thoroughly, take small bites, eat slow, and if it does get stuck, take deep breaths and it will slowly go down in 5-10 minutes.
Good to know that if it gets really bad i can try the coke thing though, if i was around someplace that had coke. Dont have soda at home.
Mr. Argumentor
I fab shitboxes and shitbox accessories.
it would seem so, yep. And amount
Example:
Orange juice with pulp: almost immediate reaction after a couple of sips.
Orange juide without pulp: mild reaction, but only if i drink more than 6 ounces. No reaction less than that.

How weird.
Dad has a similar reaction most meals, I'll have to ask if he has noticed any link between foods and the reaction
