Is it okay to make myself throw up if i have gerd . i ate pizza and now feel sick so i want to throw up is it okay?

I hope you wouldn't: Making yourself throw up is not ideal. Since you have GERD, you want to avoid pizza so you don't get that sick feeling in the first place. Making yourself throw up exposes the lining of your throat and teeth to icky stomach acid that over time can damage them. You have a condition that is best treated through eating healthy food and if necessary, preventative medication.
