Hello,
I read carefully your query and understand your concern.
A narrowed esophagus can trap large pieces of food.
It is often caused by gastroesophageal reflux disease.
I suggest to do a Barium X xray to confirm the diagnosis.
Meanwhile,I suggest using medication to treat the acid reflux such as Maalox three times a day.
I also recommend to maintain a healthy diet.
Hope my answer was helpful.
If you have further queries feel free to contact me again.
Kind regards!
