Papaya enzyme made me puke

I ate rotisserie chicken like a pre-op last night. I had a little skin, chewed it really well. Then I devoured the chicken. I ate too much, too quickly, and didn't chew enough. My program requires a one-hour wait to drink after eating. I felt uncomfortable for 40 minutes, no real foamies, but started to puke up a little bit at a time. Tried papaya enzyme, but it made me puke a little more. At 40 minutes, I took some more and violently puked. Is it supposed to do that? It got everything out, at least.

My roommate ate half of the chicken because he thought that it made me sick. It didn't make me sick, *I* made me sick. I was going to eat it all weekend

Papaya enzyme doesn't always work if the issue was that you ate too much, too fast. I suspect you would have vomited with or without the papaya being in the "mix". Don't write it off totally, it may be something you want to try in the future. Ditto for the chicken,, although watch the sodium in those chickens. I find it makes me retain water.

I'm pretty sure I had puked up the excess before I tried the papaya enzyme. It's staying in my purse, though. I'm certain I'm retaining water, but that's because I increased the distance and speed on the treadmill. I'm up to three miles at 2.9. I tried 3.0 but that was too fast. Maybe next week.

As the other poster mentioned, all papaya enzyme can do is aid in breaking down the fiber of the chicken. No, papaya enzyme is NOT supposed to make you vomit.  In fact, I have never heard of anyone getting sick because of the enzyme itself.  I am very surprised that you were able to vomit up anything 40 minutes (or 80 minutes...  I am  not sure about the timing from your post) after eating, since most of what you ate should have passed into your intestine by that time. (It takes about 30 minutes for your pouch to empty. If you ate too much, though, or didn't chew it to mush, you may have plugged up your stoma.

The texture of chicken makes it even more important to chew it to mush before swallowing than even things like beef and pork.  The chicken is "gummier" for lack of a better word.

It was 40 minutes. I think the chicken was stuck since it was still in there.
