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

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.

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

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

What about back of throat freeze?

[-] nocturne213@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

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

[-] beta0@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

Interesting, which part of the back?

[-] nocturne213@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Upper, like between my shoulder blades.

[-] can@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 year ago

Sounds awful.
