 |  Chew and Spit?
OK this is kinda gross but I wondered if anyone else does this. I chew up food and then spit it out if it doesn't break down in my mouth to the right consistency.
I don't know why, but if it isn't the right consistency I just don't want to swallow it- I think I am afraid it will make me sick. Today I did it really bad eating popcorn, melted cheese, and with some chili meat.....
It's so gross, but I just can't stop it. I wondered if anyone else does this or has done this and knows how to stop!! (aside from not eating since that's not really an option! LOL)

Ya I have done that as well, I think like you said I am afraid of swallowing it thinking that it may get stuck. It is probably one of those mind things.

I've done it on occasion, if I'm eating something and I can tell it's just not going to break down. Usually I don't keep doing it, just once I continued, it was the corned beef on St Patricks day, I really really wanted to have some but the meat was a little tough, but tasty.

I've done that a couple of times, when I was only a few months out. I'd heard stories of people eating green grapes, and the membranes causing blockages. So, I would crunch the grapes in my mouth, suck down the liquid, and spit out the grape carcas. Satisfied the flavor I wanted. BTW, grapes and pineapple are the worst fruits you can have due to high sugar content.

Yes I do that too. I do that with oranges becasue I am afraid of the stuff that is around the juice, that is going to get stuck in my stricture, so I suck out the juice and spit out the rest and I also do that when I eat fryed beefs liver, becasue there is a few harder pieces that do not chew up and I will spit it out and same thing with steaks, it does not break up the way it is suppose to, I will spit it out because I am afraid of getting things stuck in my stricture. When I first started doing it my husband wondered what was wrong with the food and when I explained it to him, he is now use to seeing a pile of stuff I spit out on my plate. He hates to see me get sick or espically throwing up.

I wish I had a nickel for every thing I thought I could eat and decided differently half way thru!!! You can't possible know whether or not you'll find something (gristle, fat, etc) until you chew for a bit.

Yes- I do it with oranges and meat a lot! I think some of it has become a habit, like I chew out the flavor and just get rid of the rest. Ick! At least I know I am not the only one that does it- and my poor hubby as the weakest stomach and can't stand to see me do it, even discreetly! (poor thing threw up as much as me when I was pregnant! LOL)

I have only did this with meat. If its a tougher cut and it wont break down good. I still have alot of trouble with chicken unless its soaked and i mean soaked in some sauce before eating it.

You might consider getting a "Magic Bullet" - if you have doubts about something, you can grind it up in the Magic Bullet... I totally love mine!
