Medical Forum / General / Nutrition / November 2004"Any cure for gag reflexes"
My girlfriend has an odd gag reflex disorder everytime before she eats. From my observation, she would have this gag reflexes when the meal is presented in front of her (at home or at the restaurants). It normally happens in this sequence. Food arrives. She looks at it. Gag reflexes begin........... Gag reflexes finish. She can eat normally. Is there any way to cure her initial gag reflexes? It's not that I'm embarrassed by her gag reflexes. Not at all. But it looks to me that she does not want that gag reflexes to occur and is suffering from it. I just want her to enjoy going out to eat more. She told me she has had this food/gag reflexes ever since a child. I have been searching the internet but haven't found any cure yet. Hope you can offer some suggestions. Concerned. Some dentists use an acupressure point between lower lip and chin when patients are gagging. >My girlfriend has an odd gag reflex disorder everytime before she eats. >She told me she has had this food/gag reflexes ever since a child.

The point is not performed at all - it's just there. You apply pressure as long as necessary. You may check the internet - lots of sites with detailed explications about acupressure.

Suggest she try a tiny bit of Ginger (Yes, the spice in the kitchen used in Pumpkin Pie) on the tongue before she goes out to dinner. This reaction of hers may be a hangover from childhood when she felt forced to eat her meals or had family fights at the supper table...or something on that order. If she got the past problem brought up to her conscious memory she might be able to recover from it permanently. |
