I call it the "foamies" I get that when I eat too fast or don't chew my food good enough. If thats what your talking about. I sometimes get in that eating mode before my surgery and I forget to slow down and chew chew chew. And don't drink anything for an hour.. Good luck

No, this is not normal. When your body senses that there is food that needs to be digested, it releases extra saliva to do the job. This will continue until you either spit the food up, or it pushes through. To prevent this, take bites the size of a nickel, chew the bite 25 times before swallowing,and put your fork down between each bite. Eat slowly. We all have this, we just have to learn how to deal with it. Best of luck!
