Vocal tics and eating

Post Reply New Topic

For those of you who have tics, do you get them at all when ever you eat?

With me for some reason when ever I eat, my vocal tics go into high gear. I'm afraid I'm going choke on what I'm eating since a part of my vocal tics involves inhaling.

I've never done it, but; my son does. He sounds like he's growling sometimes!

I've never really had them, I did clear my throat to the point where it was damaged... but that was self induced through OCD.

I get my tic whenever I eat anything chewy like gum or gummies. Its sort of a sucking noise that is annoyingly loud.

I used to make a humming noise whenever I ate. The strange thing was I couldn't hear it.

not at all, hmm...

I used to 'Gollum' whenever I thought deeply... I don't do that anymore...

I don't make any kind of noises like you all are describing, though sometimes I open my mouth in awkward ways while I'm eating food.

My son humms sometimes when he eats. We both have tourettes, and do have tics.

I've been told that I sniff a lot.... I've got a blinking cold at the moment which momentarily excuses me I feel, but apparently I do it all the time......
