There is no standardization of how the gag reflex is tested:
Your gag reflex triggers your back throat (oropharynx) muscles to resist swallowing. This helps prevent you from choking and swallowing things that could be potentially harmful. Along with violent muscle spasms in your throat, gagging is often accompanied by abdominal muscle spasms and a feeling of nausea.
Other Useful Tips to Stop Gag Reflex
Some people have an overly sensitive gag reflex that can be triggered by things such as anxiety, postnasal drip, or acid reflux.

Your esophagus is the tube that carries food from your mouth to your stomach. Gastroesophageal reflux disease (gerd) happens when a muscle at the end of your esophagus does not close properly. This allows stomach contents to leak back, or reflux, into the esophagus and irritate it. You may feel a burning in the chest or throat called heartburn. Sometimes, you can taste stomach fluid in the back of the mouth. This is acid indigestion. If you have these symptoms more than twice a week, you may have gerd. Anyone, including infants and children, can have gerd. If not treated, it can lead to more serious health problems. In some cases, you might need medicines or surgery.
