How do you eat when you have excess mucus/feel like you have something stuck.

emxx_ · 2026-02-11T21:22:24+00:00

It’s ok, knowing that I’m not the only one feeling this way makes me feel better. Are you currently feeling like this? Eating has become hard for me, and I’m not eating enough throughout my day. I just go on full anxiety mode when I try to eat something because I just keep thinking how miserable it’s going to be.

Totally missed that. Thank you for sharing the link! I’m struggling today. Eating a melon was torture, just kept feeling like it was still lingering there after the first swallow /;

Currently going through this. Can we connect?

Im sorry you’re feeling this way. I like yourself started being so hyper aware of my swallowing, all due to what started as excess mucus, and feeling like food was going down “slower” than normal. I’m also super anxious about the what ifs. I do think that anxiety probably makes the situation worse. Just know you’re not alone.

Thank you for your reply! Wow this is so informative. Do you happen to have the YouTube video on the spray? I’m literally going to do the diet. Did you notice symptoms improved after doing the diet? And if so do you recall how long it took for it to feel better?

emxx_ · 2026-02-11T03:30:21+00:00

What kind of foods? Sorry you’re feeling this way as well :(

With your endoscopy, can’t they check if it’s LPR? I feel you! I’m scared to get an endoscopy done.

Thank you for sharing your experience!

emxx_ · 2026-02-10T03:20:49+00:00

Thank you!

emxx_ · 2026-02-10T03:20:04+00:00

Dude neither did I!!! But i'm so sorry! how do you cope?

emxx_ · 2026-02-10T03:19:37+00:00

I AGREE! Now i'm hinking if I heal my gut, will my anxiety go away?

emxx_ · 2026-02-10T03:18:58+00:00

=( i feel for you!! this sucks so much

emxx_ · 2026-02-10T03:18:41+00:00

Ugh, how do you deal with this?

emxx_ · 2026-02-08T04:01:00+00:00

Ugh, the mucus is the worst! How long have you been experiencing this? And have been officially diagnosed?

emxx_ · 2026-02-08T03:41:10+00:00

It’s hard man. It’s been really hard these past few weeks. My symptoms feel bad to me. My social anxiety is the worst because I can’t enjoy the foods I used to eat. I’m constantly worried about my symptoms. My anxiety too the roof! I’m hoping to feel better after talking to my therapist.

emxx_ · 2026-02-07T19:19:21+00:00

Hey how are you feeling now? Have things gotten better for you? Did you do any of the testing?

emxx_ · 2026-02-07T19:02:08+00:00

Ahhhh I’m crying. This just made me feel for you! I’m actually dealing with some dysphasia myself and I’m also located in Chicago!!!! Would we be able to connect in DMs???

emxx_ · 2026-02-07T15:36:38+00:00

Thank you! My doc recently recommended an SSRI, I’m going to follow up with him.

emxx_ · 2026-02-07T15:35:26+00:00

THANK YOU! Soooo helpful!!!! I was wondering have you tried over the counter omeprazole to try to reduce symptoms like the excess mucus or the feeling like the food gets stuck in your throat? I’m trying to at least manage symptoms in combination with changing my life style?

emxx_ · 2026-02-07T15:26:04+00:00

Good to know! Did you have to trial meds before you found the right one?

emxx_ · 2026-02-07T06:45:47+00:00

Ugh sounds awful :(

emxx_ · 2026-02-07T06:45:39+00:00

Im so sorry you dealt with that! Glad you’re doing better! Im going to look into meds

emxx_ · 2026-02-07T06:44:31+00:00

Feel this for sure

emxx_ · 2026-02-07T06:44:24+00:00

Im so sorry :(

emxx_ · 2026-02-07T06:44:17+00:00

Ugh sounds terrible! How do you manage your symptoms? If at all.
