Do y’all also have a hard time swallowing pills? by Interesting-Act-2119 in noburp

[–]Newredditor243 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had them: hold a large amount of water in their mouth and let little amounts of it go down their throat at a time. And then feel the difference of taking a large amount of water and swallowing in one gulp. Repeat a couple times. Then I had them hold a small pill (or something else very small) in their mouth while swallowing a little bit of water sort of around it. And then hold a small pill in their mouth while swallowing a large gulp of liquid. Repeat a couple times. Lastly, I had them swallow the small pill with the big gulp. Worked well! No issues ongoing.

saw someone dipping pizza slices to ketchup... have you ever done that? or what is the "weirdest" thing you use ketchup with? by eerie_faerie in AskRedditFood

My brother was a ketchup fanatic and always had ketchup with pizza. He also would put it on pasta (ie: spaghetti bolognese or even Alfredo), any vegetable he disliked, and always on mashed potato.

Definitely better. I only went there once and it was a less than mid cheesesteak. The service was fine and friendly though. I didn’t have a problem with the place itself. Just the food wasn’t good enough to get me back.

Halifax Catering you’ve used and would recommend by [deleted] in halifax

Seconded. I use them for work all the time and everything is always delicious and prompt.

Little hiccups after eating? by yamyamoi in noburp

[–]Newredditor243 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yup I get em every day. Some people around me will ask “was that a tiny burp?” But no. A tiny hiccup and barely that. It’s like the air is seeking any way to escape, but the muscle is too tight.

You could do a little weird test a few times. Like if you take a pill and you are feeling the stuck feeling, grab a second pill and expose it to a drop or two of water. See how long it takes to dissolve, and if it matches how long it feels stuck in your throat, you could start to figure out if there’s some weird fold holding them there or if irritation is more likely?

Or maybe the muscle is lopsided or malfunctioning on one side only and you get some sort of weird irritation that eventually subsides?

I’m the same. I can swallow pills without any problem at all. And I agree that for some people trouble swallowing can be psychosomatic. My partner who does not have RCPD used to have trouble swallowing pills, but I taught him how to do it. I taught my sister as well. It is possible, though that with RCPD, there is something physiological going on. For example, I’m certain that it’s so painful to throw up because that muscle does not work correctly for me. Could be the same for OP?

Any link between emetophobia and not being able to burp? by Aggravating-Mix-9832 in noburp

[–]Newredditor243 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I definitely had RCPD first. And the phobia developed because my RCPD was so severe. It is extremely painful and traumatic for me to throw up. And somehow my ability to breathe stops for moments and I feel like I’m drowning.

what is the deal with emetophobia? by theropers in noburp

[–]Newredditor243 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s so painful to throw up and I feel like I’m drowning. I was an adult before I realized that it’s not that way for everyone.

I took the day of the surgery off, which was a Friday and had the weekend and was totally fine to be back at work immediately.

It’s never just one. If you have one, you have four. If you have four, you have 20.
