I can swallow liquids with no problems but solid foods like meats feels like there getting stuck in my stomach. There is no pain but I'm not sure what's going on. Upper Edoscopy came back with little acid and inflamation but the problem still there.

Very Infrequently when Im eating something very dry it feels a little hard to swallow esp when mouth is dry. Today when I ate a very dry hamburger I noticed it. No choking-No problem with bun or any thing else. Is this from mouth being dry? Concern?
