Maybe you can have your swallowing assessed? I think my throat is a little tighter as well. I can swallow now fairly well without choking but Im staying away from really dry things and breads... meat I don't eat but my wheat meat goes down ok. Though there are times depending on how swollen I am that I still have to gulp water to get my food down. They might determine that you you need a throat dilation? or maybe you can try acupuncture it has helped me.

good luck... I know it's no fun having to work to eat your food! ugh! take care
