So do you think ive burnt my own insides?

[Beauregard]

I have a bad habit of eating my food at boiling temperatures,i have blistered my gums in the past.
The other night whilst eating my tea i swallowed a piece of potato not realising how hot it was and my insides were on fire till it went down so i had a swig of coffee and it was ok.The following day(yesterday)i started to develop a very sore ,sort of itchy lower throat and chest.Today it is the same but slightly less sore.I dont feel ill so could it be that i have burnt my inner self?

Sounds like a burn

I did it once with a Thai they'd accidentally double chilli'd I was too bravado too admit it was too hot LOL- then DH tried it and blew his temperature guage ( lol)

If its less sore I wouldnt panic but you can always call NHS direct if youre worried

Thanks peachy

I dont think i could call them and say i think ive burnt my own insides.
Hope i haven't done any damage.

Hi PFNM... Have you tried something like Gaviscon? My dad had something like this, but caused by a really bad stomach bug which led to stomach acid burning his oesophagus. He was in agony - thought he was having a heart attack.

Hope you feel better soon.

Thanks Ellbell will get some from the chemist tommorrow.
When it itches it feels just like when something is healing and starts to itch iykwim?the rest of the time is sore though.

Hi,

Yes I've done this. It felt like every time I swallowed something, my throat was being grazed. It did go though. Try drinking milk and take gaviscon or heartburn tablets to soothe.

Well today the soreness had gone but my throat was really itchy so coughing and clearing it a lot.Then ................ you wont believe me but i went and burnt it againi am not joking.
So now my throat and chest are sore again
What the hell is wrong with me?

Chew each mouthful 20 times, pfnm. Otherwise you're going to have to change your name to OesophagusGoneTheSameWayAsThePelvicFloor... which would just be silly!

rofl ellbell

pfnm- what are you like? once could be seen as unfortunate but twice is just silly

Im just an unlucky person i guess
Yesterday i fell UP the stairs,i kid not.
I cant even fall properly.

PMSL...

Trinity... get back onto Gecko-naming thread. We're all desperately trying to name this child for you!

Good grief, you must have been going some to burn your own innards!

You will have to start dowsing your dinner under the cold tap befor you eat it. Fine with veg, pasta, noodles ect. Do not attempt with fishfingers.

I'm sorry pfnm, I know you're in pain and all that, but everything about this thread including the title is making me pmsl

Maybe drink a glass of iced water?

I may forgive you Franke

I swear it's because im on this diet,im so hungry by the time i get my food i wolf it down like a pig.

oink

Eat more often!
