Kathy please try this....gag yourself...this may sound stupid and maybe its too late if you have gastropharisis...but I had the same problem where Id swallow and it would stick about half way down and wouldnt go any further or I would want to vomit every time I ate. Heres the deal...our meds are slowing down our prefrontal cortex that is responsible for our gag reflex, saliva production, (which responsible for our food moving down our throat), mucus production in our sinuses, and tear production..thats why we have dry eyes..am I right...You have dry eyes..please tell me if Im wrong...By gagging yourself about 5 times a day you will stimulate that prefrontal cortex to do something other than vegatate...You will also notice that you will produce mucus in your sinuses and tears in your eyes. And the biggy saliva in your mouth which helps with swallowing and digestion..I received this information from my very intelligent neuro chiropractor...Please try this...I know this has worked for me...I was ready for a full upper and lower GI before I started this and now I am swallowing food great...I hope this helps...Use a tooth brush one of those oral B's they work great.
