Dilation: I am not sure of the exact reason for the dilation, but in a sense dilation is not a cure. You have some process that needed to have dilation. That alleviates the problem, but does not inherently resolve it. I would focus on chewing more thoroughly and eating slower. You can talk to your doctor or your GI specialist and see if there are other therapies to consider.
