I just did some more googling, and the most probable cause (at least I think) is what I found on this page:
patient.co.uk/showdoc/23069166/
Basically, it's salivary gland stones. When you eat a meal, your salivary glands produce much more saliva. When a stone is blocking (or partially blocking) the salivary tube, the saliva has no where to go and creates the intense pain, sometimes followed by swelling. Waiting for saliva excretion to subdue usually ends the pain.
Solution? Have a doctor take an X-Ray to confirm, and then have them removed by probing, sialendoscopy, operation or sound waves (newer procedure.) |

| I have the same pain. I just had mexican food and two beers. I think it's the beer that's causing it or me. I've had it with wine also. I'd love to know what it is. |

Have been complaining to my GF about this for months... comforting to learn i am not alone here...
I have found that it tends to occur less often with less mild wines.. |

Wow, gotta love the internet for lettng you know you're not the only one in the world with weird symptoms. This happens to me too - often with sour drinks (it just occured drinking vodka with lemon, hence looking it up!).
I found two options to deal with this:
1 - don't drink anything for 20 or so minutes and it seems to fix itself.
2 - hold a mouthful of drink for as long as possible before swallowing. This (for me anyway) hurts like hell up to 10 or 15 seconds, but seems to make subsequent sips much less annoying. If the pain returns, repeat holding drink in mouth.
I have no idea why this happens and it doesn't hapen all the time. No one else in my family suffers from this. |

The salivary gland stone would definitely be the problem if you are drinking lemon juice. Anything tart like eating a lemon or a dill pickle would cause more salivation to build up.
My wife has just been to the doctor today about these symptoms. The doc suggested she eat a lemon or pickle and see what happened. She drank some lemon juice, and I could see her face swell up right before my eyes. The salivation was clearly blocked by a stone, causing painful swelling.
So lemon juice would be a much different case than regular eating or drinking. I'll bet if you try a dill pickle or simply eat a lemon, the same thing will happen. |

|

Unbelievable. Have had this same issue for 20 years and just now looked it up. I asked my doc 10 years ago and he simply said, "Then don't drink alcohol when you eat." That's lame. Anyway I have a couple of tips that may help you!!
Drink water before the alcohol. You take a drink of water, then your adult beverage and then a bite. This works ok when you know you are going to have a few with dinner.
When you go out for a few, not planning on eating but then you end up getting something to eat? Just have a few more drinks before you order. I've found that if I have just a beer or two before I eat will always result in pain but bumping it up to three or four usually does the trick. Probably just because I'm half drunk and killed the pain!!
Try these and keep us all posted!! |

|
|
| I just want to say that I have also experienced these symptoms. It is like a tingling pain sensation that starts in the joint of the jaw and may run to the ear or down the neck. I only have it if I am drinking a beer and if I stop, it stops. Wow, am I ever surprised to hear of so many others who are experiencing similar symptoms. Now what is the cause??? |
