AM Routine - Food before or after treatment?

[thefrogprincess]

I eat after for sure! Sometimes I cough so hard I would vomit if I had a full stomach.

I usually am able to spit out my sputum with HTS, not always. I just keep a healthy supply of tissues next to me so I can spit into them.

Vesting on a full stomach doesn't bother me. I used to eat before my morning treatment because I was so hungry when I woke up. I don't know what changed, but now I eat after my treatment.

I cough up mucus no matter what I'm doing, xopenex, HTS, pulmozyme or an antibiotic, or even dry vesting. I always spit it into a tissue. I can't even give a sample into a sputum cup without gagging. I must have the tissues not a cup or a bowl. I buy generic cheap toilet paper and just throw it in my waste bin.

Thanks everyone! I'm on my second day of HTS 7%. SO far so good - lots of gunk coming up. Only a mild sore throat (down deep) - nothing major and I'm hoping that will go away in a few more days time. <img src=""> ~Juliet

I def. can't eat right before I do my HTS. That stuff works so well that if I ate right before I would probably end up throwing up because of my cough. I normally eat about 20 mins after I finish morning tx. I like to give my stomach a chance to calm down. No comment on the swallowing, except that I think every CFer swallows a good amount. Just one of the "perks" of CF!

BTW, for your sore throat: one thing I've found that helps is to brush my teeth and drink a BIG glass of water right after I finish the HTS. This help keeps the residual salt from sticking around in my mouth and throat and causing irritation. I've also heard some people gargle water a few times at the end of the tx.
