Hi , okay when i wake up and i brush my teeth , after i get a HORRIBLE stomach ache ! it really sucks because it ruins my day ! is it normal? am i doing something wrong when i brush my teeth? PLEESE HELP ! I RATE 5 ! (link)

While I don't know the cause of this, I suffer from the same syndrome, so you're not alone. By the time I'm done brushing my teeth, my stomach is churning up all kinds of gas, and I get a stomach ache that lasts around 15 to 20 minutes.
Clearly, I am not swallowing my toothpaste. In my estimation, my stomach is reacting to the taste or smell of the toothpaste. (Just as the stomach reacts to other tastes and smells.) My stomach is reacting to the taste or smell by producing a lot of acid and/or gas (are these two aspects of the same thing? I'm not sure.)
I'm going to experiment with different kinds of toothpaste. I'll let you know what I find.
