yeah
When you're brushing your teeth, push the brush slightly further back on your tongue than you're confortable with, and hold it there until you feel a retch coming on. Do a tiny retch then stop. Just keep increasing it until you can do that without retching (about a week). Just keep up that process until you can poke the toothbrush about there without gagging. Could take weeks.
If taken by surprise your gag reflex will probably always be there, but with a couple of deep breaths and a mental prep, you'll be able to swallow lamp-posts before you know it.

Hahahaha!
I am so doing this.

bear in mind I am a former bulimic
so the toothbrush used to be able to make me heave at the merest tickle.
If I can reverse this process then anyone can do this!
I'm not a mental. I was young and foolish and I caught it off my mother. I am a food-lover again now and it always stays down.
