| Difficulty Swallowing during eating
Hello..sometimes I have trouble swallowing my food, and it gets stuck in my throat, saliva starts to build, and I have to spit constantly until the "feeling" of my clogged throat goes away. Somtimes I try sticking my finger down my throat, sometimes it takes a few minutes for the "stuck" food feeling to go away, sometimes hours. WHAT IS THIS?
It doesnt matter what type of food(although mostly lettuce from salads, brocolli, rice), but it has happened with all types. I try to chew my food all small, and take my time eating. Someone once told me I may have a "flap' htat is catching my food and causing it to clog my throat, not permitting any more food, or drink from entering.
Very emabrassing, as I have had to run to the bathroom or outside cause i couldnt swallow my drink, and spit it up.
Please help!
It has been goign on for years, but has worsened over the past year or so.
