Oops...Forgot to copy message...Swallowing problem as baby...

[Guest guest]

Actually, drinking milk was my main problem. At 6 months of age, they

hospitalized me and fed me via a tube in the nose. I would drink Ginger-ale

though.

Many people don't realize that milk can be harder to swallow than other

liquids. Doctors now tell you to lay off the milk when you have a cold; it

thickens the mucus somehow. Plus, I have never been able to swallow gulps.

Always have cut food up small; especially meat like steak (proably because it

is thicker) If I swallow to much liquid at once, it fills like a bulge going

down and it hurts. Basically, I have just learned to adapt without even

realizing it. Guess I'm just a survivor.

Peace and Grace
