I choke on the smallest crumbs of food and if my liquids are too thick, too chunky, too cold or too hot, or...just because. Everything I am able to ingest in this last year and a half is followed by a bout of IBS. My spouse "jokes" (only he thinks he's funny) that I should be 2/3 my size now that I practically live in the bathroom. My job has me working from home permanently because of the "environment" and the "atmosphere". In other words, having me there is a liability, not to mention an embarrassment.
Hi Roxie, I am able to eat small meals, if I overeat I feel awful. also my esophagus constricts which is annoying. And I have alot of gas. The constipation is the worst part.
