Limpy, I totally relate about the "wad of food in the mouth". Happens to me all the time. When the neuro tested my strength, he also tested the strength of my tongue pressing against the side of my cheek and he said to me "I bet you have a lot of problems clearing the food from your mouth, your tongue is very weak." And he is absolutely right. That why I hardly eat carbs - crackers, bread, etc. That is the type of thing to get most stuck.
