Does anyone with h. pylori/ gastritis notice that they feel an uncontrollable gag reflex when under exertion, such as intense exercise, or after eating crappy foods? The feeling seems to build up during strenuous exercises such as sprinting, wrestling, and things that cause a combination of exertion while getting winded such as squats and sit ups. It can't be identified where the reflex is being triggered, it just sort of happens, like it comes up from the stomach into the throat but I don't physically feel anything there, you just heave if you don't stop. Sometimes can exercise and it not happen, other times it happens rather quickly, but is extremely frustrating. Also, after eating sugarery or greasy foods, I feel like I'm going to gag if I move too much, and the throat can be very sensitive to the touch on the outside of the neck, this gets better after the food digest. If anyone else experiences symptoms such as these or did experience them and they went away after getting h. pylori under control, I'd appreciate hearing about it. Thanks.

I often have gagging episodes, primarily in the morning.

it or may not be H. pylori related. I know friends who are free of H. pylori, also get this gagging experience. Nevertheless, if you are tested positive with H. pylori, no harm trying to eradicate it and see if it improves your problem.
