    As a kid? Yes. I have a very strong gag reflex. The doctor using a tongue depressor would make me retch. I had trouble swallowing meat if it was tough or fatty. I would have to chew it for a very long time before I could swallow it. Fatty bacon I usually just had to give up and spit out.

    It took me until I was a teenager until I could swallow a pill. I practiced on swallowing blueberries.

    Now I have no problems, I can swallow a handful of pills and I’m a vegetarian.
