Unclear on diagnosis: If you have a swallowing problem, you need to consult a GI doctor to find out the cause. If this is from a condition known as eosinophilic esophagitis, dietary changes may make a huge difference. If this condition is not controlled, it may lead to permanent obstruction of your esophagus.
