Question:
Does anyone else have a hard time eating a swallowing air while they eat, it is very

painful, is there a way to keep this from happening?    — Krista B. (posted on November 30, 2001)

I think the air thing may be that (at least for me) that I am eating too fast. Surgery 11/12/01 VG. Hope this helps.

I only get that feeling when I swallow liquids too quickly. I'm trying real hard to slow down and sip, but for most of my life, I've been a guzzler... This too shall pass... just try to make yourself more conscious how you eat, and see if there is anything to change.

The only times it happens to me is if I take to big of a gulp of fluids/food or if I'm full. I use it as my signal to stop. If its from too much at a time I'm still hungry but wait until the burps stop before I start eating/drinking again, then I limit the amt and chew better.
