My trouble swallowing seems to be from the mouth not throat. No obstruction or restrictions. No known cause. Losing weight fast. Cannot eat. Only consume smoothies. What is the cause?

Melissa, have you consulted with a speech pathologist? They specialize in swallowing issues.
See the ESOPHAGEAL MOTILITY SPECIALISTS at MAYO. JAX, FL
thru the Gastro Dept….Funny, doing this same thing, DYSPHASIA, the swallowing thing.🤪. It’s so upsetting to my GERD!! I did all tests..
Esophogram, Endoscopy with biopsies, Echogram, but CD NOT do the Esophogeal Motility test with swallowing small tubing thru the nose and into the stomach. NO GO., gagging, spitting, and choking.
I tried it. Just a bad gag reflex! Some people can do it fine.Try it if u can, VERY Diagnostic for the Doctor and diagnosis❤️Blessings🙏

I’m so sorry that has been an issue with me also which has gotten worse in last year. Eating mostly liguid or very soft foods. Also loosing weight. We have come to the conclusion mine is the dryness from sjogrens disease. Now as I’ve talked about before I have a terrible taste in my mouth. I’m seeing a GI Doctor in a few weeks. I’ve come to accept the fact of this and just trying to work with a nutrition specialist to get as much nutrition as I. Am to not have to put on an eating tube. Have you talked to an nutrition specialist? My Doctor connected me with one that is covered by my insurance. I totally understand and sorry you are going through this also.
