Is it normal to choke up food and chew it?

Sometimes after eating if feel the food somewhere between my stomach and throat. Then i like to choke it up, chew it a few times and swallow it again. I feel uncomfortable because it isnt even disgusting for me. I also like the taste of it.

Is It Normal?

  • I do this when I haven't chewed my food enough for it to go down comfortably. Chewing just enough to swallow runs in my family.

  • I have dysphagia so I end up with food stuck in my throat and back up in my mouth all the time and I don't find it fun. It hurts and is probably going to kill me :(

    • Honestly, I've had that too. Have you seen a doctor yet? At this point it's occasional enough that I forgot to tell mine the last time I saw him. But it is painful and can be embarrassing.

      • I have dysphagia as result of a minor stroke. The cause of your dysphagia is important to know so try to remember to ask. It's often a symptom of another condition and not a stand alone problem although don't be too alarmed as it can be just an occasional or rather benign and treatable problem for many people.

  • I do the same thing except I swallow large pieces of meat. Push them back up with my throat and chew them.

  • This reminds me of what birds do when it comes time feed their young.

    Have you seen a doctor about your dysphagia?
