Thank you very much I just saw this. When I see my gastroenterologist I will ask him. The taste is still as bad no change at all my primary doctor did ask me to try Gaviscon again after each meal but it still hadn’t changed a thing. My swallowing still very difficult so mainly eating soft or liquid foods. Still feeling like something is at the very back of my throat. Tried milking the glands to help with salvia but only caused a but more sore throat. Thank you so very much again I appreciate your reply. Linda.

dancing1,
I had a Gastric Endoscopy done by a gastroenterologist, and he never caught the tumor in my throat either. I am not saying you have a tumor...just that an ENT (and second/third opinion ENT too) would be the place to start. Two different ENTs did Nasal Endoscopes on me and never found the tumor. It took a third ENT to scope me, and he found it immediately. Even a CAT scan did not detect it somehow. The radiologists suggested my symptoms were from "Eagles Syndrome." If I had left it at that, I would surely be dead by now. If you are not having pain, then maybe you just have a blockage with dysfunctional vocal cords. Don't give up, and please make that appointment! Best of wishes to you.
