In Reply to: Choking From Food! posted by Donna on January 17, 2000 at 22:53:38:
: I have been choking from food for the past 2 years. Sometimes I even choke on my own salvia or water. Sometimes the food gets so hung and wont go down I have almost pasted out, so I go to the bathroom and try to lose it. My doctor ran a swallow test but they didn't find anything. He suggested I may be stressed or nervous, which is farther from the truth. Could anyone please give me some suggestions or would love to hear from someone experiencing the same symtoms.
: Thanks!
My brother has this and since he is a very up tight person, the doctor said it was stress and told him to drink a little wine before he ate to relax. It worked sometimes. I have a book that I have been passing around my family and it really helped him and has helped me with my problems. It is well work buying.It is called "Irritable Bowel Syndrome & the Mind-Body Brain-Gut Connection" by Dilliam B. Salt II, M.D. I can't find the quote now when I need to but he says I.B.S. effects everything in digestive system from mouth to bottom end. Well worth the $20.00 I paid for it.
