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?

Yes,could be a wheat intolerance...but do you eat any other wheat based foods such as biscuits,cakes. I wonder if it could be something else in the bread,and is it any bread or a particular one? If it was a general intolerance to wheat, you'd react to other similar foods.
You could try cutting out bread for 1-3 weeks...then gradually reintroduce.

The 'sticking' has been going on for years. The need to vomit has only happened twice thankfully, and only in the last four years or so. Admittedly I might have vomited on other occasions had I been in a different situation. The vomiting is spontaneous rather than induced but has only occurred when I have been in a situation where I am able to find a bathroom.
The blockage is roughly in line with my collar bones, the point they meet at the base of my throat.
The sticking only ever occurs when I eat bread. The dreadful wind is also caused by pasta. I can see the obvious link of wheat/gluten but am unsure about the irregularity.

I don't have a sweet tooth so it is a rare day that cakes or biscuits will pass my lips ;-)
I bake a lot of my own bread generally using the same flour from the same mill. Yet on occasion I will react when three days ago everything was fine.
I have tried a food diary but can find no rhyme or reason to the physical response I have.
It is however getting increasingly frequent and unless these are symptoms of something more sinister I'd rather not bother the GP and simply accept that me and wheat/gluten are no longer friends.

I'm not a fan of intolerances and allergies either Sqad, often used as excuses for fussiness. However me and wheat based products do seem to not be in agreement, perhaps I should treat wheat in the same way I've treated boyfriends that upset me and dump them;-)
I'm pretty confident that it is not the pharyngial wotsit you've suggested.
I think I'll not bother taking up 20mins of my GPs life and just accept that sometimes me and wheat don't agree.
If only I could understand the sometimes element.........

The dryness is an interesting point. I have found sipping a drink does help but I assumed it was more to do with the gentle swallowing action.
On reflection I have found eating overlooked dry chicken has a similar but milder result.
I've always favoured moist sandwiches, those with mayo or something wet in them. A plain cheese sarnie is not something I could ever contend with.
Having said all that I still get terrible wind after eating pasta which is generally quite a wet dish.
