Sure, see GI doctor: Difficulty swallowing ("dysphagia") can be distinguished as a "transfer" problem (difficulty moving food from mouth to top of esophagus), "transit" problem (difficulty moving food down the esophagus), "spasm", gerd (due to sphincter problems), or obstructive (webs, rings, strictures, ulcer, tumor). Best to see a gastroenterologist (gi doctor) for evaluation and treatment.

Are you supposed to eat solid foods if you have esophagitis? Is there a specific diet? My doctors suspects, but we are waiting for tests. Gave me no diet instructions. Can swallow food, but some liquid comes back up instantly into my throat. Scared?
