What kind of x-rays: If the ER just did plain x-rays that may not be good enough. A bariusm swallow can show more information, and sometimes it would be best to have an upper endoscopy to look at your esophagus. This problem will probably not be solved by an online consult, and will require further investigation.

Doubt it: These symptoms do not sound like food poisoning. Your wife should see her doctor or go to the emergency room. It could be something serious.
