I love this site but I need to know more

It's sort of like getting food stuck in your throat, but not really. It happens if you eat too fast from not chewing the food enough. You will find certain foods need to be chewed entirely or this will happen. It's not with all foods though.

Also in time, you will find some foods that you can no longer swallow (POSSIBLEY) Like I can't eat bread, and I know it. So I just don't bother with it.

I don't miss it at all though. Knowing that I won't get stuck, if I don't eat it.

I stick to moist foods or foods that I can dip in a sauce. If you don't chew your food really good, anyone can get stuck, So I stick to moist food, and make sure I chew it down to nothing. That way I don't have to worry about getting stuck.
