I am glad I read this thread. My problem with my kitchen sink is the same. So I'm going
to have to do the same. Thanks guys.

All kinds of plumbing problems with garbage disposals. I removed them from all my rent houses and now no plumbing problems.
Don't have one at home either. (newly renovated house)

The gurgling you described sounds like a partial blockage.
I had a wife that used to shove way too much down the disposal. It eventually blocked the pipes and had to be snaked out.

Best to have good gag reflexes anytime a trap removal and cleaning is on the to-do list!
I also find them problematic. Won't have one again.
We do, wash our hands there quite often.
I pulled both traps, the disposal side was actually clear but the other side had a hard ring of whatever around the top that narrowed the hole but otherwise, nothing in the trap itself. Nothing gag inducing.
I cleaned them both up and reinstalled, not so sure the issue is resolved, we'll see how it goes throughout the day.
One plumber's take on it...
As the owner of a plumbing company, Coast View Plumbing, my team and I have noticed the drainage system of buildings that use antibacterial soaps were terribly clogged, more so than others. We believe that these types of soaps kill beneficial bacteria in drains and reek havoc on the system. Sludge in these drains look like black tar and are almost as hard as cement.
Ultimately, it runs down drains into our waste water system. This eventually meets up with our drinking water system via oceans, rivers, etc. and then guess what? We all get to drink it, making us all more resistance to antibiotics. It makes fish unable to reproduce. Who’s next? If you can avoid the stuff don’t use it. It hasn’t been proven to be beneficial to our health nor the health of our planet.
How Triclosan Effects Plumbing
Triclosan and similar antibacterial agents pose more harm than good to all living things, to our water supply and the environment.As the owner of a plumbing company, Coast View Plumbing, my team and I have noticed the drainage system of buildings that use antibacterial soaps were terribly clogged, more so than others.

I disagree with this. There are no good bacteria for pipes. That’s for a septic system or treatment plant
