Trip to ER

Food can get stuck even when following the rules of limit portion size, small bites, chew well, and wait in between bites.  Here are some stuck-food tips for some protein-based foods:  take a chewable papaya enzyme tablet which works to dissolve proteins  OR  drink a stirred 1/2 teaspoon or less of Adolf meat tenderizer in a small amount of water  OR  pre-moisten meat with lemon juice, au jus, or mayo before eating.  If you happen to be developing something called a stricture, no tip will do and medical intervention will be needed.  

For some reason, salmon is very hard for me, too.  I guess it's because of the density of the protein.  I can't eat it to this day.

I found that shrimp, scallops, and even tuna all work well for me.

It's all trial-and-error for each of us.

Bread can still make me feel like a heart attack happening, and I'm 11 years out!
