Food getting stuck in esophagus
I had a problem with my esophagus where my esophagus wouldnt let food go thru to my stomach so food builds up in my esophagus to the point where it stretched and became bigger 6 times the normal size so it blocked my breathing and made me tire, but i got a surgery P.O.E.M. and the esophagus is now open, but its still deformed and twisted so food would still sometimes get stuck so i HAVE to drink water as i eat (usually 2 cups of water per meal) and i heard drinking water while eating is bad but there is nothing i can do, is there? how do i prevent food from creating a blockade in my esphagus so i dont drink water while eating?
