Sometimes Throwup Occurs
Posted: 11-13-07 09:45am

I have been a Vegetarian all my 70 plus years. Only recently in past three years I have had a condition where while eating I have to stop eating as a closing up of my throat occurs and if rested about two minutes, I feel a relaxing of my throat muscles and I can continue to eat fine.

But if I have to swallow things are worse. Usually I am forced to swallow. I try to hold back the urge to swallow but can't always. If I swallow even my unconscious desire not voluntary condition causes me to throw up. When the pain stops, It is a relaxing of my throat muscles and I know from that moment that I can continue eating just fine. I have no need to throwup.

I try to eat slow, small bytes, throughly chew, drink liquids. correct upright posture. All I detect can't help me to avoid problem on only occasions. This condition does not happen always at any certain eating sitting.

My second condition was several months apart from the first. Likewise for the third and so forth but now recently, they are closer together, maybe about each fourth time of eating. Or twice per week. I never eat an evening meal. I have a good breakfast. a good lunch as my main meal.
I never have smoked, never took drugs that were not prescriptions. I have always slept great. No problems what so ever. I have been married for over 46 years with Five grown children with 18 grandchildren.

I have been to several medical Doctors and they have had me to drink this awful simulated liquid as the xrays and scans were taken. They have found nothing as my condition does not ever happen when drinking, only while eating a meal.

I have now over the past three years results been able to know and feel my throat close up and about to cause me to throwup so I stop eating immediately and just rest. If I can rest long enough without swallowing, then my throat will relax after a couple of minutes and I am okay. But each time I have to swallow the problem gets worst. The more I swallow, I am not talking about swallowing any food, just the normal mouth salava. The worst the throat closure occurs and causes me to throwup.

If I can catch that feeling of my throat earlier enough then I relax and stop eating and try not to swallow then all is okay. I know that if I do not swallow for at least two minutes, I'll be okay. I can also feel my throat release and its joyful that its over. I can then eat again right then.

I have no name for my condition, as the Doctors could not pin a name on it.

Thank you for taking time to read my condition. I have been a College Professor, Am retired now. Also I am a retired Commercial Pilot. Now working as a Communications Consultant and a State Inspector. Thank you.. Professor Yonce..

Sounds like you've had a rough road. Have you thought about keeping a food diary to see if you can pinpoint if a certain food might be causing this problem?

I have never considered taking a diary of the things eaten because I eat the same things at meals. It does happen and then it does not happen. No different food.
When the throat closing occurs, It was the same menu items as before that did not
cause a problem.
Example. Cereal with cut up Bananna with whole milk. Always for Breakfast.
That same item sometimes causes problem and many times not a problem.
That's the reason I started eating slower, smaller bytes. Correct erect posture.
The problem still occurs. Most of the time a small case of hicups occur but not always. Thank you. Professor Yonce..
