If I’ve sounded at all antsy of late…
I’ve gone several years at a time without it happening, and when it did it was always at night, almost always after I’d eaten not only a late dinner but one that I knew was a risk. You’re at a restaurant celebrating a friend’s dinner? Just enjoy the friends and food and if you have to deal with it later you deal with it later.
Middle of the afternoon. Never like that before. And again. And again. And again. And again. Simply ripping open after coming unglued from the top at random. Eight times in, what, 18 days now?
Monday I sat down after the latest and wrote a letter to the manufacturer saying whatever is going on with your product is not acceptable. Fix. It. It is making it impossible for me to so much as leave my house. Insurance only pays for one bag per day and did they have any idea what patients are charged out of pocket for this stuff?

They verified who my supplier is–whether to work through them or to trace a possible source of the problem, I don’t know.
They (which, I’m not sure) have now FedExed me replacements.
One bite, two at most, one swallow of fluid. Every snack, every meal. Digestion by water erosion. No high fiber. I haven’t had a cob of corn in 14 years. No spicy foods that deteriorate the seal.
And then today it happened again anyway.
Maybe I should write the FDA, too.
