I have been a Vegetarian all my 70 plus
years. Only recently in past three years I
have had a condition where while eating I
have to stop eating as a closing up of my
throat occurs and if rested about two
minutes, I feel a relaxing of my throat
muscles and I can continue to eat fine.
But if I have to swallow things are worse.
Usually I am forced to swallow. I try to
hold back the urge to swallow but can't
always. If I swallow even my unconscious
desire not voluntary condition causes me
to throw up. When the pain stops, It is a
relaxing of my throat muscles and I know
from that moment that I can continue
eating just fine. I have no need to
throwup.
I try to eat slow, small bytes, throughly
chew, drink liquids. correct upright
posture. All I detect can't help me to
avoid problem on only occasions. This
condition does not happen always at any
certain eating sitting.
My second condition was several months
apart from the first. Likewise for the
third and so forth but now recently, they
are closer together, maybe about each
fourth time of eating. Or twice per week.
I never eat an evening meal. I have a good
breakfast. a good lunch as my main meal.
I never have smoked, never took drugs that
were not prescriptions. I have always
slept great. No problems what so ever. I
have been married for over 46 years with
Five grown children with 18
grandchildren.
I have been to several medical Doctors and
they have had me to drink this awful
simulated liquid as the xrays and scans
were taken. They have found nothing as my
condition does not ever happen when
drinking, only while eating a meal.
I have now over the past three years
results been able to know and feel my
throat close up and about to cause me to
throwup so I stop eating immediately and
just rest. If I can rest long enough
without swallowing, then my throat will
relax after a couple of minutes and I am
okay. But each time I have to swallow the
problem gets worst. The more I swallow, I
am not talking about swallowing any food,
just the normal mouth salava. The worst
the throat closure occurs and causes me to
throwup.
If I can catch that feeling of my throat
earlier enough then I relax and stop
eating and try not to swallow then all is
okay. I know that if I do not swallow for
at least two minutes, I'll be okay. I can
also feel my throat release and its joyful
that its over. I can then eat again right
then.
I have no name for my condition, as the
Doctors could not pin a name on it.
Thank you for taking time to read my
condition. I have been a College
Professor, Am retired now. Also I am a
retired Commercial Pilot. Now working as a
Communications Consultant and a State
Inspector. Thank you.. Professor Yonce..

Sounds like you've had a rough road. Have
you thought about keeping a food diary to
see if you can pinpoint if a certain food
might be causing this problem?

I have never considered taking a diary of
the things eaten because I eat the same
things at meals. It does happen and then
it does not happen. No different food.
When the throat closing occurs, It was the
same menu items as before that did not
cause a problem.
Example. Cereal with cut up Bananna with
whole milk. Always for Breakfast.
That same item sometimes causes problem
and many times not a problem.
That's the reason I started eating slower,
smaller bytes. Correct erect posture.
The problem still occurs. Most of the time
a small case of hicups occur but not
always. Thank you. Professor Yonce..
