constant throat problems

for the past 3 yrs i have had very awful throat problems. it becomes too dry sometimes, i have lost 28 pounds because of  the trouble i have eating. i have trouble eating certain foods,(greasy, spicy,) and certain foods give me an itchy throat, such as oatmeal, and bannanas. and mushy foods such as beans and mashed potatoes feel like they get stuck in my throat. i almost always wake up with a sore throat and a bitter taste in the back of my mouth. i have a lot of post nasal drip that chokes me  sometimes,and a constant stuffy nose. i get nausea a lot too and very bad stomach cramps, because of all the mucus im swallowing. i drink bottles of water a day because its the only thing that helps. i think its allergies or acid reflux because when i was little i had stomach problems all the time. they went away as i got older but are now coming back. please help! im loosing weight and its torture  being scared to eat the foods i love. im afraid of choking on them. my throat bothers me 24/7. please help. i need an answer. thank you!

You may be suffering from a combination of various ailments.  I would recommend being fully evaluated by an ENT physician.

but i have and one ent specialist thinks its allergies and the other thinks its acid reflux. and a dentists asistant said it was due to  my cavities. i just need the right solid answer.

It could be a combination of these factors.  Give the opportunity for one of the specialists to work systematically and manage these issues one by one.
