careful out there, and it would be helpful if we had been granted 3 sets of teeth!

the same thing happens to me sometimes when earting. i think it has to do with food combining principles to do w/ protein and carbohydrate digestion...so i try to eat carbs 1st, then protein. if i eat the protein 1st, the carbs won't go down. and i am fighting to keep weight on. too. 100 lbs clothed! i think the stuck in throat sensation is kind of a gag reflex - from the stomach saying it can't digest that now. usually after i wait awhile i can get it down. as i recall once protein digestion begins, there is an enzymatic slow-down for carbs....but speaking of enzymes, supplements can be helpful here. if you find this useful, let me know. it's only a half-educated guess.
time to go eat something!
