I don’t even know how you keep the food in your mouth chewing that long. After a minute most of it has managed to make it’s way to my throat without any effort by me to get it there.
You should ask about getting a swallowing study done to find out what’s going on because that isn’t normal. It might be an esophageal structure or spasm that can be fixed.
If they are proportional to each other, you shouldn’t really be able to get more in your mouth than your esophagus can handle. There are some conditions that make the esophagus tense up wrong instead of making peristalsis.
I eat slow.

Yeah, I never really actively swallow, it’s too painful, I just wait for the food to slide down.

It’s probably just that I have a small mouth and throat.
that should only result in smaller bites, definitely not pain unless you’re trying to swallow whole chestnuts
Maybe uncomfortability is a better word?

That sounds concerning… are you alright?
