I have been diagnosed with a tortuous esophagus. My throat has spasms as well. I cannot swallow all the time. I have to think about it. Cut my food very small. I still choke. If drinking something alot of times it comes right back up. If I am going to the bathroom and push. Food and drink will come back up, especially cold water. I have had my throat widened. To help with swallowing. I feel my dr has given up. Nexium 40mg twice a day keeps it bearable. Where should I turn I was 12 when diagnosed with a bleeding ulcer.
