i don't swallow well at all if my head is back and especially if the food is dry, like chicken.
i've learned to always have a beverage handy when eating.

Yep same here, I had the same test and was given the same advise.
Dry foods are also really difficult for me. Especially breads, I love dinner rolls but can't eat them anymore.
Actually on my test they were able to see when it got stuck and had me try to swallow again, then drink water.
I hope you find something that helps.
