Hello,
You have not mentioned your age.
There could be motility disorder or some mass in the food pipe, obstructing the way.
YOu need to get done barium swallow in which the dye is allowed to swallow and x rays are taken to see for the proper motility of food and any obstruction.
In your case when there is abdominal cramps also there seems to be a problem with reflux disease . ie reflux of food from stomach to food pipe and causing the damage to the food pipe and throat.
consult a doctor and get done the tests and treatment for reflux disease.
In doubt do reply.
