What Causes Food Getting Stuck In Throat?
Question: Sometimes food gets stuck when eating, increase saliva then food is regurgitated.
Brief Answer:
GERD to be confirmed...
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
I am sorry for the situation you are in.
Feeling food stuck in the throat and then regurgitated are signs of acid reflux. Further tests are needed to determine the final diagnosis including upper endoscopy and abdominal ultrasound.
As it is holidays, I advise to :
- eat often and small portions
- chew up slowly
- do not lay down immediately after eating
- avoid oily, chilly, spicy foods
The aforementioned steps should help you until you see a GI specialist for further evaluation.
All the best!
