GERD and Anxiety

[TacoCat25]

I have this incredibly horrible fear of throwing up and two days ago my stomach acids started getting caught in my throat which has that throw up taste and it’s scaring me. Any tips on how to get rid of this taste in my throat?

Good question i sometimes use mouthwash when that happens

[TacoCat25 in reply to Hb2003]

Yeah, I’ve tried that. The thing is, I lost my sense of taste and smell when I had covid. It’s in the back of my throat and I can’t get the mouthwash that far back without choking 😅😅

Oh yikes has your sense of taste and smell returned ?. same with me I only use a little bit not all of it I would choke it as well .

[TacoCat25 in reply to Hb2003]

Only in my throat apparently. I still can’t taste with my mouth. My smell is still gone too.

[Hb2003 in reply to TacoCat25]

Have you tried adding a slice of ginger root to your fluids? I was able to stomach the bowl prep for G.I. studies by adding a slice of ginger root to each glass. Ginger made even bowl prep tolerable!

I should add I used farm fresh ginger root. Don’t skimp on quality.

Thank you, I will have to try that 🙏🏻
