So sometimes when I'm eating food, I'll prepare to swallow it. But before it can sink all the way down my throat, I'll cough it back up and re-chew it. I usually do it with popcorn, because it actually taste good to chew it a second time. But I find that I'll do it with pretty much any food that doesn't turn into a liquid in my mouth. Is this normal?
like King Neptune on Spongebob KMDSL. Judging by the crowd on that episode no. i would say it's not
I've never heard of anyone do this before, but I don't see anything wrong with it either. As long as it isn't bothering you or anyone, I'd say it's normal in a way.
Cows kind of do that except they have four stomachs so after it's visited one stomach, they cough it back up and send it into another.
I voted Not Normal. A friend of mine who had OCD used to do this. It was disgusting.
I chew my food more than most perhaps 50-60 times before swallowing, it's good for digestion but I don't see the advantage of pausing to swallow and then coughing back up again.
"...cough it back up and re-chew it."? That doesn't sound normal at all. Then again, I'm losing 3 to 1 at the moment.
