anyone have REALY bad gag reflex?

ashleykwl · May 2015

Does anyone have any tips to help my gag reflex? I literally am gaging on anything and everything.... Brushing my teeth...any smells...cleaning products...I even started gaging when I saw a spider ...I can gag even when I just think about gaging...its totally out of control. I don't necessarily feel nauseous but if I keep gaging till I puke I start to feel nauseous throughout the day. I try to just walk away from the area and take deep breaths...but I was hoping that someone had tips so I don't even get to that point of gaging.

I had this, but at almost 10 weeks it's slowly improving. I find that Altoids and lots of water/tea with my constantly are about the only cure. I've not thrown up yet. And my "morning sickness" hasn't ever affected my actual tummy, it's just been a gagfest.

Following because I too gag like it's nobody's business, and I don't even know why I gag at times. I will stand up and just start gagging

Place your thumb between your index and middle finger and squeeze. Its an old trick and oddly works. Haha

I literally have to mentally prepare myself to brush my teeth bc I gag all over the place while I do! It's not even so much that I feel that nauseated, it's just this crazy reaction I can't control!

I'm dealing with this mainly when I brush my teeth which really sucks. Also certain smells make me gag.

Yep. If I could tell you how many times I've puked right after eating dinner. Ugh.

I puke every morning. Its the gag reflex. I get the has al Aldridge and general crap in my throat when I'm pregnant. I don't get it, but it's to the point that I run to the bathroom..a few times even throwing up stomach bile bc there's just nothing there. But yea, gag reflex is how i figured out I was pregnant. I asked my husband to clean a pan I'd used that morning to cook bacon for the boys...he moved that grease with a paper towel and i gaged, headed for the bathroom, gaging 2 more times and then of course the inevitable for me. Took a test, or 4, the next day and my miracle BFP!! I figure as long as I feel nauseous and ull, I know that baby is a till growing and I'm ok. So as much as I hate it and have trouble in public I'm trying to deal.

Thanks lady's..I'm almost 12 weeks and this gag reflex sucks! It really sucks when you start to gag after eating a good meal cuz I'm almost sure it will all come back up. The only good thing I got out of it is I made my husband clean the toliets cuz using any cleaners or even looking at a dirty toilet makes me gag lol my only tip to not gag after I eat...I have to eat and just force myself to lay or sit around and not do anything at all that might set off my gag reflex...so I eat a small meal and just lay around for awhile

I gag just thinking about food or brushing my teeth forget really eating. Water is the worst but i find not drinking enough definitely makes the gagging worse so it's a big issue I struggle with. I'm just praying it gets better soon

Yep. My kitchen sink, my fridge, a hot shower, thinking of gagging...they all make me gag. The weirdest thing.
