Is it normal for abdominal pain to go away after gagging?

Maybe you had a lot if gas, or acid. The gagging may have released it…

For me, the abdominal pains that are strong like that are generally trapped gas. A good burp or fart and I feel much better.

This sounds like acid reflux to me, which can do lasting damage if you don’t keep it in check. I would recommend doing a bit of internet research to see if the symptoms fit – then talk to your doctor. Always talk to your doctor.

It is normal. When the body is in distress about what’s going on in the stomach, it may get the body to throw it up, and that’s what it feels like. Almost every time I have thrown up, doing so relieves it. A similar thing happens with the bowels. I had an awful flu where both were happening at the same time, and the relief wasn’t very long-lived. That was miserable.
