when a burrito won't leave....

[Dookus]

whaddya do?

I ate a burrito about four hours ago and it still feels like I *JUST* ate the damned thing. It's sitting in my stomach like an anvil.

Short of purging, what does one do?

[maveric]

1. What kind of burrito?

Chorizo seems to do that to me.

[Dookus]

2. carne asada

and I've eaten burritos from this place many, many times. But this one just has a certain stick-to-it-iveness that, while admirable, is getting rather uncomfortable.

3. Did ya use a lot of hot sauce?

BTW I love Carne Asada.
Come down San Diego way for some great carne asada.

4. Psyllium fiber drink. Soda. Pepcid. Sleep.

That's usually what I do.

Psyllium fiber drink? The most popular brand is Metamucil. Get the generic. It's downright cheap and it works just as well. Don't over-do it. Two teaspoons is plenty.

Soda will help you burp out some of the gas. Drink decaf soda, or decaf/diet soda if you can.

Pepcid -- the generic is famotidine -- will reduce stomach acid.

Sleep will let you ignore the problem.

Good luck!

5. If possible

try some beer. Maybe just a little or some cola.

6. I had a beer WITH the burrito!

Maybe that was the problem :)

I just tried the metamucil... we'll see if anything starts moving.

7. Sounds like one of those Bush & Co. premptive burritos

Swallowed all that shit without thinking and with no clear exit stratey?

:shrug:

10. I just got back from a

three hour Platform Committee meeting that was 3 1/2 hours

****exit strategy ***

11. Club soda works wonders for these situations...

It has a bit of sodium bicarbonate in it, and the super-fizziness will help break things up.

Hang in there --

12. Just a little bit of Drano
