success with papaya enzyme?

I don't really know why papaya enzyme would work! It can be used as a meat tenderiser but to do that you let meat soak in it! And being tender isn't the issue anyway. So it isn't quick! And it may not be meat that is causing you problems! I know some people say it works for them but I actually wonder whether it is time that is doing it not the papaya. My nut laughed when I asked her about it!

Often when we say we are stuck we don't actually have something stuck in the stoma.  Our pouch is more like a soft leather bag. If we fill it with soft, well chewed foods, it fills smoothly and then empties gradually. if we put in unchewed pieces or hard lumps, then the pouch fills faster because of spaces between lumps and we get discomfort or pain. Because there is not as much stomach acid as there is in the whole stomach, things are going to be digested more slowly and so if we have big chunks on unchewed food, it will take some time for them to go through the stoma.

So it sounds to me as if your problem may be not being too tight but not chewing enough.

Hope you feel better soon.  Kate

That is entirely possible - and it is not going away.. though happy to report it is not getting worse either!

I'm going to try one more day of warm liquids and hoping things relax, then I'll go get an unfil

This sucks!!
