non-erosive reflux disease causing chocking

Please don't just assume it is Reflux. I have reflux and assumed it was causing my choking, but found out that I have a spastic esophagus and the opening at my esophagus and stomach doesn't work properly, which can exacerbate the condition. Please tell your GI and have them do extensive checking. Oh, and it doesn't have to be food that causes the problem. I have more problems with liquids than with foods.

I have a similar condition. Jackhammer esophagus. I have never so far choked on food, I take very small bites, but agree that liquid is more problematic. Water for instance. Can't drink a lot very fast, I choke. I bought a device called Iqoro (Google it) and it has definitely improved my swallowing. Unfortunately, they don't ship to the US since it's not been approved by the FDA. Too bad for all the people who suffers in this country.
