hi Craig,
i also had a long time getting back to eating right... after about 18 months i got my esophagus stretched and that did the trick.
clues that is the problem? when you burp, does the air come out easily or does it sound a bit like donal duck? i could drink, but it was real slow because the opening was the size of a paper clip wire... it's supposed to be about the size of a quarter.. after 2 stretches,, it's now about the size of a dime...
that was the big fix for me.
if you can't belch like a sailor, you might need a stretch.
we should be able to belch proudly!
cu,
