My family thinks I’m strange for getting a belly freeze more often and more intensely than a brain freeze. Am I just strange or is this an actual thing?

I've never heard of belly freeze

[–] Lemmylefty 8 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Can you describe what it feels like? Is it more about the pain or the temperature? Brain freeze to me is far more about the pounding pain with quick onset.

It’s an intense cold right at the top of my stomach when I eat frozen foods. It pretty uncomfortable for about 10 sec.

[–] RedAggroBest 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Bro that sounds like acid reflux damage reacting to the cold. Do you have any other GI issues.

[–] beta0 5 points 1 year ago

Haha not that I know of. I guess I should get that checked!

I don't get belly but I get chest freeze.

[–] evil_opossum 3 points 1 year ago

I came here hoping someone else said this cause I'm the same way!

I'm not a doctor but I'd get an upper gastrointestinal tract endoscopy/ultrasound to check that shit out. They stick a hose up at the mouth and down the esophagus to look for shit. Easy peasy. Gastro doc should be able to do it, hopefully you live somewhere civilized.

What about back of throat freeze?

[–] nocturne213 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I get back freeze, and i find it far more painful than brain freeze.

[–] beta0 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Interesting, which part of the back?

[–] nocturne213 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Upper, like between my shoulder blades.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Sounds awful.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Yeah I get throat freeze.

[–] FReddit 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Much preferable to the ball freeze.

[–] ITypeWithMyDick 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Is that when they turn blue? I know I've gotten that many times...

[–] FReddit 1 points 1 year ago

I totally failed to make the connection!
