A member asked:

Why does my food feel like it's not all going down to my stomach but seems to be right at my throat?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Esophageal stricture: It is possible that you have an esophageal stricture. It could cause the food to feel like it gets stuck part way down to your stomach. It would be good for you to see a gastroenterologist for an upper endoscopy to check for this.
