@jimhd It seems to me your symptoms are similar to my GI problem... that is, gastroparesis.. the stomach empties much slower than normal.. sauces with everything helps ... eat small amounts frequently, never carbonated drinks, Never a straw...too much air is swallowed ...chew chew chew... snacks to get calories.. nuts and berries.. trail mix.. with mixed nuts... doughy stuff like pancakes and soft breads are toooo pasty .. and form a ball down there that is difficult to pass on out of the stomach... bloating... terrible... Do you have that?
Mayo diagnosed mine with 3 tests... just takes the better part of a day.. Ken

Wow Ken I’m so sorry to hear about all this. Mine is everything moving slow, swallowing is real slow, everything is slow, so I have to be careful because stuff is getting stuck in my esophagus part way down so I have to really concentrate to swallow. Mobility test revealed it (which was an awful test),

I had some gastroparesis several years ago, but I don't think that I have a problem with my stomach emptying. My problem is getting the food there.

I've had several gastric surgeries - small bowel resection (40" quit working), toxic mega colon (80% removed), peptic gastric ulcers, gall bladder removed, and a surgery to clear up lesions from prior surgeries. I think I've had GERD in the past, but the speech therapist said a year ago that I had "silent reflux" whatever that is.

Difficulty with swallowing is the pits.

Jim
