Stupid Question
I find that taking a drink of really fizzy Coke does the trick in bringing up the offending meat!
You can also try meat tenderizer or papaya enzyme (if you have either) - but they are more of a long term prospect and I don't recommend using them on a regular basis as they can be hard on the pouch and stoma!

since I can no longer seem to vomit (other than foamies) I've found the only thing that works for me is to lay on my left side and ride it out. Walking helped move it in the beginning but now that just makes me feel sicker. When I lay on my left side I may get a out of nowhere foamie but then it seems to settle, I have no idea why. I hope you find something that works for you and continues to!

Thank you Mrs. Litch, I will remember that in case there is a next time. (Which hopefully there won't be.) It finally worked itself out/down. Thank God. This was one of the few times I was able to vomit. I am sure it had to do with me continuing to drink to try to get it up. Normally when I eat a bite too many or I don't tolerate something all I get is the foamies. I have become a pro at those. :)
I was eating meat about 2 hours ago. I think some of it got stuck, as any liquid I now drink comes up. I have been vomiting for a couple of hours now. In worse case scenario, how long before it releases? I'm not having any pain with it, just the vomiting.
If you are vomiting, then it should all be up. That is what jumps out at me. If you chewed it well, it could not have gotten stuck. It would have been liquid. Did you chew it to a paste consistency or swallow bigger chunks? I would stop drinking for a while and just let your system settle, personally.

Hi Pethairmagnet,
Your right, I didn't chew it probably as much as I should have. I was eating jerky. I have trouble with some things more than others, and this jerky in particular was a little chewier than my normal brand. Anyway, while vomiting all that was coming up was the liquid that I drank so it took quite a long time to get to the nitty-gritty of the problem. Thank you for the recommendation of letting my system settle. That may have been the better option. My only thought was to get myself to puke to try to get it up.
