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.

Re: Difficulty Swallowing during eating

Well, I guess no one on this Forum has knowledge about my situation, or did I post this in the wrong area?
I went and had a videoesophogram done, and the speech therapist recommended I see a GI(Gastrointologist(sp?)), as I may need to have my throat dilated, as its probably reflux that is causing my throat to close up???

Anyone??

Re: Difficulty Swallowing during eating

My Mom has the same symptoms you describe. She has a terrible time eating, she gets food caught and spits alot. She tries to make herself throw up. She has strictures, and needs to have her throat stretched every 3 months. You should go see a doctor, it might also be Barrets Esophagus. Good Luck.
