I did not mean to use a word that would be bleeped. I didnt think it was a bad word.

But pls, I would like to know if anyone has that problem with drinking (liquids in general, not alcohol)????

Hi, thank you for your response. I do have an appt with a GI on 7/10. It has taken a lot of jumping hoops.

I do have issues with swallowing food as well...but it is just more of choking myself. The excess liquids is when I notice the reflux the most but you sre right, now that I think about it I do notice with food sometimes too.
Thanks for your help, cause I didn't know  wether to tell him or not...now I know I should.

Hi!
Well dysphagia or difficulty in swallowing usually involves solids or both solids and liquids. Selective dysphagia to liquids is rare, and cause is often not known. It is treated by sipping liquids instead of drinking them in glups and giving medications to improve peristalsis and control reflux.
If you also have dysphagia to solids (the problem may be more with liquids than with solids) the achalasia, esophageal stricture and a bad gastric reflux should be ruled out. You may need an endoscopy.
Please consult a GI doctor for this. Take care!
