Eating just a little too fast, just a little too much and/or that one extra bite of whatever that you think won't hurt...WRONG!!

Or, your pouch just not liking something that you've put in it...

I had it happen twice, both times I drank too fast. Once it happened an hour later, once it happened within ten minutes.

To me the foamies seem to be the spit you swallow coming back up when you get nauseated from doing anything the previous posters mentioned. Eating too much, too fast or the wrong thing. Its like your pouch is so full you can even swallow your own spit. Horrible feeling. I dont recomend it
