Re: Something stuck in THROAT!
OMG Holly this just happend to me. I had chili with nachos. And it got stuck and I hate to eat something to knock it out. But I think it actually just scratches your throat, so you will feel like it is there but it is not. I would just keep drinking fluids or maybe suck on a lifesaver or something. you are going to keep swallowing which is going to aggrivate you and your throat.

Re: Something stuck in THROAT!
Not to scare you, but if you find it happening regularly have a doctor check you for eusophogeal strictures and motility and Achalasia.
The muscles that undulate, causing the food to go down the throat, can malfunction causing swallowing problems, and with Achalasia the muscles that close the eusophogas to stop backflow of stomach acids can constrict so that food won't pass. That's what happened to me a few years back and I had to have surgery to fix it.
Don't worry, it's fairly uncommon, but because of that it often goes undiagnosed so it's worth mentioning if you find you have problems swallowing a lot - especially breads and meats. FM if you want more info.
