December 4, 2014. Over a month ago.

#8 Oh my gosh, I needed something for my breath today and my co-worker gave me a piece of gum. I only planned on chewing it for 5 minutes or so, but I became busy and after about an hour I felt this burning in my throat right before lunch. I started walking and the burning in my throat and upper chest would not go away and I threw-up white foamy stuff a few times. I ended up leaving work and going to my doctors office, partly because my stitches were sticking out and needed snipping and to talk about my burning. It finally subsided a little over two hours later. The NP told me that it was probably due to the acid in my stomach coming up and settling in my throat and chest after chewing the gum from lots of air going to my stomach. No more gum for me!
