Baby Food lol

I have found if I don't chew my food, it gets stuck and I am sick. Sometimes its just stuck and takes ages to go down. Is this part of COPD ?

[knitter]

I have a similar problem but only with some foods .

Oven chips , for some reason , noodles and spaghetti .

Get jammed . Don’t know if related to COPD though .

[superblackbird in reply to knitter]

mine is any food

[JHutton1994]

No, that's nothing to do with COPD and needs to be explored with a doctor, as soon as you are able.

[superblackbird in reply to JHutton1994]

Thank you very much, I'm going to Doctors today so will tell them about it🐦‍⬛🐦‍⬛

[JHutton1994 in reply to JHutton1994]

Actually I take that back. It could be due to COPD, but given it can be a symptom of other worse things I think you should definitely get it checked out.

Thank you🐦‍⬛🐦‍⬛

Pete struggles with spaghetti but otherwise ok. He has COPD too but not generally a problem with food. I’d get that checked out if it continues xxx

My mother in law also as COPD and as difficulty swallowing. COPD can cause some swallowing difficulties but in her case it was another condition. I have a general rule. If I develop a new symptom then until proven otherwise I do not blame COPD. Safest option is to see your GP for investigations.

Hi, I have Bronchiectasis not COPD but have the same sort of problem. I can only take little sips of liquid else it comes straight back and sip all cold drinks through a straw as this seems to help. Don't eat food that takes too much chewing (like meat) and takes ages for me to swallow anything at all, I chew and chew until it's easier to swallow and have small mouthfuls. Strangely I can eat toast although this too take ages for me to chew and swallow. I eat fish rather than meat as this is easier to chew. I think it's part of my lung problems but will check with my specialist when I see him next. Take care xxx

[superblackbird in reply to Nula2]

Thank you very much. I'm not as bad as you are but I will get doctors to check what's going on. Just been for pneumonia jab, was told make appointment with doctor for that. Keep on living life to the fullest you can. xx

Hi again and thank you🙂, will be interesting to hear what your Doctor thinks. Take care xxx

Mine was caused by an inflamed oesophagus due to excess stomach acid and hiatus hernia. I saw my GPs and was fast tracked to the gastroenterologist and endoscopy, this identified the swollen oesophagus. I was started on a course of omeprazole and after a few weeks the inflammation had gone, I’m on a maintenance dose of the omeprazole and can now eat normally again

[superblackbird in reply to Biker88]

im already on omeprazole so see what doc says.cant get in till the 18th but no problem🐦‍⬛🐦‍⬛Are you a biker ?
