Is it normal to barf almost every time i brush?

uhhhhh......no?

Have you ever discussed this with your doctor? You could have an over sensitive gag reflex. Or the brand of toothpaste you use could irritate your throat....or something.

It's normal if you're pregnant?

Yeah. I get that too, quite often but I never puke though.

Your digestive tract is funny. There are stretch receptors in between the smooth muscle layers of that tube that leads from your mouth to your anus, they're connected so that your tract can coordinate the movement of food. When you stimulate the opening of your tract (mouth), somewhere deep inside your digestive tract reflects that, and say, your esophagus opens [mine never does, so I just stand there gagging for a while]. You just have a ultra violent gag reflex, which is great if your chocking but not when your brushing your teeth.

[did you ever eat something, and then suddenly want to take a shit? that's exactly why your body employs those cntractions; to keep things moving along lol]

Not reading all of the posts, I'm drunk. But maybe don't put the brush so far down your throat? If not, maybe it's an allergic reaction to your toothpaste?

Stop swallowing the toothpaste

That happened to me for about 6 months. It was only my coffee that was coming up. It didn't occur to me to try stopping the coffee, but I found out the reason was I had a huge gallstone.

You need to exhale slowly as you move the brush to the back of your tongue. Do this while opening your mouth as widely as you can and sticking your tongue as far out as it can go.

When you've mastered this, you'll be able to alternate between slowly inhaling and exhaling through your mouth and it won't be a problem. I've noticed I have more of a gag reflex whenever I've just eaten.

It's normal just means you have a sensitive gag reflex!!! Duhh..

Just a thought, but it could be that your toothpaste is too strong. I can't use certain flavors of toothpaste if they are too strong or it makes me feel sick. But like others ave said, your gag reflex could just be very sensitive. Especially if it is happening when you brush your tongue.

Erm, occasionally i throw up when i use too much toothpaste

Umm don't stick your tooth brush in your throut so far?? That's all I got.

Oh noes.

Buy some of those chewy tooth brush things and mouth wash.

Stop trying to brush your tonsils just your teeth.

Hmmm... I have a friend who's sort of like you except not as extreme and he has a really weak gag reflex and always dry heaves when he brushes, and sometimes pukes. My suggestion is to get a smaller tooth brush, like a kiddy tooth brush so it doesn't go as far back into your mouth and you have more control of it, or you could brush with your finger and just vigorously floss and use mouthwash.

The only time this happened to me i was pregnant.. unlesd u deep throating your toothbrush

You should probably get checked out by a doctor. Does this happen to you when you visit a dentist?

Don't eat before you brush, this shouldn't happen if you let your stomach digest all the food first, gagging is normal

Not sure bur for me yes. I barf every damn time and I hate it. I can't brush my damn teeth without barfing and end up brushing them again ._.

Yes, this used to happen to me allot. The problem decreased after I switched to my new toothpaste, but I still gag. The gaging is less "violent".

I'm the same with thinkingaboutit.

Ohh I thought this was about those evil tress tamers
