Nelie,
I am having similar problems swallowing solids. Anything remotely solid (including diced peaches) seems to get stuck in my throat and then I cough it up. In addition this seems to treigger an allergic-type reaction which brings the roof of my mouth out in bumps. Interesting that somebody has mentioned that there are diffreent muscles for swallowing solids to liquids as I was putting this down to narrowing of oesophagus due to treatment. Have ben advised to gradually thicken consistency of food until able to handle solids.
