What Causes Difficulty In Swallowing Food And Choking?

I am very concerned about my brother when he eats he gets choked very easily and sometimes ends up throwing up because the food will not go down. He has been to a stomach Dr and all the test came back good. Would love to know what the problem is??? We thought his throat might need stretching but the test was good on that also
