Question: After eating too much for a week in an attempt to gain weight, I now have a supersensitive gag reflex and my throat tightens up while eating?

I'm skinny (5'11" 150 lbs), run crosscountry and track (which keeps me lean) and I've always wanted to gain some weight. Couple weeks ago, I decided to dive headfirst into a 1000-1500 calorie increase in my diet. I ate way too much and had 3 or 4 pretty bad acid reflux reactions (nausea, dizziness, increased saliva production) within a week. Never threw up, but I think these reactions damaged by stomach or esophagus somehow. I have since cut out the extra calories, but even eating my normal diet has become difficult. I have an overly sensitive gag reflex that appeared couple days after my acid reflux reactions, and I now have to constantly fight off the urge to throw up. For example, I almost puked while running just because a small amount of saliva found its way into the back of my throat.



Even worse, my throat tightens up after I eat about 70% of my food during a meal, breakfast, lunch, AND dinner. I want to throw up every single bite. This has made it very difficult to finish the last parts of my meals. One thing that I have found is that the throat tightness is sort of connected to my stress level. If I'm in a rush to finish (like to catch my schoolbus), my throat tightens up instantly. But if I consciously relax and breathe, I can feel my throat loosening up and the urge to throw up subside.



What has happened to my stomach or esophagus?
