Reaction After Eating Bread
21 Answers
Sometimes while eating a sandwich I feel that it has become stuck in my throat and I can't eat any more. On occasion I have had to vomit but other times the sensation passes and I can finish my sandwich.
More frequently I find when eating bread that I get very windy to an unpleasant degree where I am virtually barking burps. The burping is quite extreme and has a rapid onset.
Are these particular symptoms of something?
I appreciate that the obvious answer is to steer clear of bread but it is such a sporadic reaction that I'd rather not go down the total exclusion route unless absolutely necessary.
Any thoughts?

Hi EcclesCake - just seen this post so a bit late.
Whenever there is a slight obstruction to swallowing food - such as a pharyngeal pouch which Sqad has mentioned - the two main foods which classically cause problems are firstly white bread, and secondly dry meat. This is nothing to do with allergy or intolerance, it is simply due to the consistency of these foods.
As you say the sticking is becoming more frequent, you should as Sqad suggests see your GP.
