What is this?

While I don't quite get that feeling, sometimes when I try to drink something it has to sit in my mouth cause my swallowing just won't engage. And, like Kelly, I now take smaller bites and chew, and chew, and chew to get it to go down.

I have read that drinking ice water or ice drinks helps as it helps wake up the nerves in the throat and esophagus. I have tried it and it does work.

Thanks tkirk! I will definitely give that a try! Ice is free!

confused swallowing is exactly how to describe it. I KNOW how to swallow, but my tongue with a mind of its own will fling food back before I am ready to swallow and I am into a coughing fit. Scary!

Feel better.
