What Causes Gagging And Vomiting After Having Food?

My 85 yr old husband has problems eating. He gags on most foods and when he does find something he can eat he frequently ends up throwing it up or throwing up clear slime. This even happens when he drinks water. He has had a problem recently with constipation also.

Hello,

There is likely a problem in his esophagus, or stomach causing this problem. He needs to visit a gastroenterologist help sort this out.
