My interpretation is there is some very unpleasant truth that the author does not want to accept. There are two phrases that are used in English: "It sticks in my throat" - refers to some situation that is very unpleasant and hard to accept. "A bitter pill to swallow" - refers to somewhat the same situation, except that here, it means that the situation must still be accepted, even if unpleasant.

I agree with fdmaxey, unless it's a specific slang term.
