Occasional Trouble with Swollowing
by lasmith000, Nov 29, 2002 12:00AM
Within the past year (I'm about to turn 40) I have had occasional accute pain while swollowing. It feels like my paristolic mostion is "off"... Like my esophogus is constricting around the food itself, rather than pushing it down. This lasts up to 3 minutes, until the food reaches my stomach. I have this problem when I eat rice in particular. Is this a common condition? If so, what is it called and what can be done? Thank you!
Have you had motility tests done??????????/
