RE: wacma: Gag Reflux

[Guest guest]

I am not sure about having no gag relfex, I have not been tested. I

know that I can be eating and realize that there is a piece of food in

the back, back of my throat and I am not chocking because of it. If I

swallow again it goes the rest of the way down. I tried to show my

husband how far back it was and he could not see it at all. Needless to

say our 2 year old thinks it is okay to show daddy her throat while she

is eating now =)

wacma: Gag Reflux

I know it's been awhile since I have posted. I've been in the

hospital since the middle of September. Thanks to all of you who

sent me well wishes. It sure is nice to have all of your support.

After I went to Chicago to the Diamond Headache Clinic, I was put on

Nardil (an MAO inhibitor)to control my headaches. I'm 9 months post-

op. I ended up getting a severe reaction to it so they took me off of

it. But what it left me with is no gag reflux. I have wondered how

many of us ACMer's do not have our gag reflux. I want to know if it

will come back or do I have to eat soft foods forever. I'm not sure

if it was a side effect of the medication or if it is Chiari

related. My doctors say neither. All tests that were done came back

normal. Does anyone have the same problem with their gag reflux or

am I just an odd ball.

When I saw Dr. Batzdorf he found that I have almost no gag reflex. He told

me to expect that it might take up to a year after the surgery to return.
