View Full Version : Did I break my Gag reflex?

I've only been puking for 2 weeks or so now, but consistantly after every meal. My Gag reflex just doesn't seem to be working quite the same the last few days. I have to work really hard to do so and I can barely get anything up, with fingers or toothbrush.
Now I'm starving off the food that I ate since I couldn't puke it, which I'm not used to....I know it's somewhat 'healthier', so it's not the worse thing.
Adivce? Tips?

This is my first post on the site and I'm actually quite nervous talking about all this, even if it's to those in a similar situation.

Thanks.

I used to throw up everyday when i was pregnant, (i havent been bullimic for 5years) but i would force myself to throw up before i would go to work so i didnt spew all over the place and my fellow employees and i wouldnt feel so sick, i found that when u use your fingers there is a flap of skin if you just tickle it you will throw up, with practice you can do it without making any gag noises...
Remember to brush your teeth straight away dont want all that stomach acid messing up your pearly whites : )

I've heard that it's best to wait a while before brushing your teeth after you puke. Because the extra friction only wears your teeth faster. But I suppose, just waiting around with acid eating at them isn't much better. It's probably a lose lose.

Baking soda?

I'm really no expert when it comes to purging, as I totally can't do it. I heard that you're supposed to swish with baking soda and water immediately and wait a little while before brushing your teeth.
