“Somewhere, something incredible is waiting to be known.”—Sharon Begley.

On a phone call with a cousin one day, I was explaining to her about the burning throat and she thought that he might be horrible to eat with that and I immediately stopped in my tracks and thought, I actually never noticed it. 

That immediately got me to the drugstore for…chewing gum!

And there you have it, one bite and the burning throat immediately stopped. Spit out the gum and presto the burning is back. 

The transition was mind-blowing. I immediately starting chewing gum like crazy. 

Fortunately, it appears to be impossible to swallow air while chewing gum (contrary to the bogus claims on the Internet), so ironically, the aerophagia was not worsened.
