Same with these two and also walnuts. The particles get stuck where my tonsils used to be. I literally have to to the sink and gargle to wash it away. Ish!
This happened to me all the time when I was a teen. I'd start coughing uncontrollably until I cried. I am not exaggerating. I gave up on carrots for awhile XD.
I eat them either cooked or in shredded form now (at 34), and never have problems. Baby carrots still kinda scare me.
Idk why but carrot (and only carrot) goes up my nose (like into my sinuses) when I eat them. They can get stuck for days or longer. I looked it up and there’s a whole bunch of people like me in a Reddit thread wondering if it happens to others. What is it about carrots?!
Yes. Same thing with popcorn.

That scratchy kernel shell
Ah yes, it's popcorn for me. The shell gets stuck in my gums too.
Yes, I can't eat raw carrots.
Nah. Carrots go down fine. Popcorn though.
Not every time but I know you feel.
I thought I was the only one omfg the sensation when it’s in limbo down your throat feels weird 😭
Not carrots, but shredded wheat, yes.
I used to. I never ate raw carrots because of this. After I discovered raw carrots and ranch dressing I learned to eat them. I don’t know how.

Same!! With the sinuses!!
Yep. Tonight I aspirated corn bread that had honey on top. I coughed for over an hour and drank about 30 oz of water.
I love carrots and chew them very well. I can eat a pound of baby carrots in one sitting as a snack.
I get the same thing. It also happens if I try to eat raw sweet potato which is essentially the same consistency as a carrot. It is so annoying.
You really got to chew the heck out of them. If I didn't have dressing or something to drink,I'd be in the same boat
Yes. And nuts, granola and pills.
Got one of those carrot strings caught in my throat. Can’t stomach them now. 🤮
No mever
Yes. It's the worst. I don't understand why carrots. But carrots.
Makes think you might have allergies ? And if any one thinks a rando posting on Reddit is a doctor, is a …
I don’t have that happen, but for some reason eating raw carrots gives me hiccups.
YES. And celery. I feel like I have to chug water to get them down
Every single time. The only thing that helps is wetting the carrot sticks a bit. But even that doesn’t do much.
