for the past two years my partner has notice that i have problems eating, if i eat food without the aid of a drink i end up in tears due to the pain in my throat as food is going down. i have had this problem for some years but as i'v got older its got a lot worse too the point when i wont eat certain foods now, i make sure i chew my food properly. for one plate of food i.e chicken, mash potatoes and veg i have to have two pints of water and if it is anything like pie (which i don't eat anymore due to the discomfort) it can be anything up to four pints. i have to drink this much to soften the food up and force it down.

can anyone help its really starting to affect me now
