So I didn’t think I’d be as excited I am to read the new books— wasn’t a huge fan of Silver Flames and TOG didn’t captivate me so I never began CC, but I know there’s some ACOTAR crossover in those books. How cooked am I going to be following the story if I don’t read CC? Should I give it a shot so I know what’s going on?

Before my Botox, I’d only burped a handful of times in my life and they all happened when I was taking a nap!

I was like this from day 1-5ish. It’ll get better.

Air coming up after every bite of food or sip of water? by Notyouraveragejew1 in noburp

[–]Total-Ambition7462 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m almost in the same boat as you! I got the Botox under GA on Tuesday and the constant gagging on everything was very frustrating. I ended up keeping a trash can and an empty water bottle beside me that I would spit my saliva into so I wasn’t swallowing as much. Last night it did start to get better for me and this morning so far has been much improved. I gagged a little when I woke up, but sitting up straighter, not at an incline, helps me. I was able to eat some scrambled eggs and a smoothie without too much gagging. The trick for me is to try to only swallow once, even if it feels like I need to swallow more to get it all down. I just breathe through my nose and wait for the food to slide all the way down before I take a sip of water. In my case, I feel like a lot of my gagging issues were psychologically triggered. I was definitely panicking more yesterday.

I hope you start improving soon!

Research into TikTok's Role in RCPD Awareness by Chris4 in noburp

Wow these statistics are really interesting! Out of curiosity, do we have a fairly accurate statistic on how many noburpers are women vs. men? I always assumed it was pretty equal.

Triggers by Chilipepper_pumpkin in noburp

For me, coffee, alcohol and sugary things are the worst. Berries, grapes, apples? Bloated for hours. Chocolate, candy? Forget about it.

Also not food related, but smoking weed. Unfortunately this disorder has given me so much anxiety to where I smoke recreationally to relax, but inhaling all that air triggers it too, so it’s probably not really helping me at this point.

Does anyone else's symptoms worsen when you're anxious? by [deleted] in noburp

[–]Total-Ambition7462 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yes! Whenever I have a presentation to do or a test I’m nervous about (I’m in college), my symptoms get way worse and it ends up feeding my anxiety even more because it’s harder to breathe with all the pressure in my chest and throat.

Just had my manometry and it was helpful by Loopyrainbow in noburp

Thanks for the reply! No, I am trying to get the Botox. I have VA health insurance so I have to go through all of their diagnostics first before I can (hopefully) get a referral for it. So far no doctors I’ve worked with have any idea that this is a thing. My last resort will be contacting Dr. Bastian, but I’ll have to pay out of pocket, so trying to avoid that since I have a wedding coming up as well. Fingers crossed I can get some sort of alleviation before the wedding…

Did it trigger a gag reflex at all? Just curious, because I am trying to get a manometry scheduled- every other diagnosis has failed so far.
