You should go for the "cookie" test- I think what he is referring to is a Modified Barium Swallow- It should be done with a speech therapist who works in a hospital or a place where they can do X-rays- Its a very simple test- they just give a small amt of food/fluids and watch it go down via flueroscopy- Its really simple!

You should definately slow down when your eating if you are having difficulty!
