I never saw a GI doctor...I had a video swallowing test done thru speech

therapy(believe it or not)they also suggested taking 2 small bites then a sip of

water,etc.no straws,no gulping of beverages...no mixed consistencies(for

example,no milk and cereal)then I see the speech therapist once a month,go over

what has worked and what hasn't worked,etc.Hope this helps!!  Pam G

Swallowing difficulty a common symptom of MS. It's a nerve thing. I would be

scared to have scope shooved down my throat too!

whole meal at once. It gets scary sometimes.
