rice getting stuck

[John1922]

When I eat rice, it becomes stuck in my chest for a while. I have to stop eating, have a drink, and start again anyone else get this

yes, the same thing happens to me with rice and often bread as well. I find putting some butter or spread onto the rice and letting it melt into it helps a bit.

Yes it's not good They say it's from scaring and can block fully and you wont be able to eat. It could also be something more serious

I have slight oesophageal motility issues as well as reflux. Any “dry” ingredients such as rice, meat, bread, crackers, cakes etc often get stuck. I cannot eat without drinking something first and then accompanying my meal with sips throughout to move food onwards. It can be quite painful at times.

I have similar with things like bread if not chewed sufficiently. When I had a laproscopy they also diagnosed a shatski ring along with the hiatus hernia. This is a slight blockage in your oesophagus so the need to chew everything properly.

Yes, I only have 6 teeth, so I can't chew, and I was told that would not help. I have hiatus hernia plus gallstones; had both for over 30 years plus many more problems
