Is this true? I chew for a few minutes before swallowing normally, find it difficult to swallow otherwise.

I don't even know how you keep the food in your mouth chewing that long. After a minute most of it has managed to make it's way to my throat without any effort by me to get it there.

[-] DeaDvey@lemmy.ml 2 points 2 weeks ago

Yeah, I never really actively swallow, it's too painful, I just wait for the food to slide down.

You should ask about getting a swallowing study done to find out what's going on because that isn't normal. It might be an esophageal stricture or spasm that can be fixed.

It's probably just that I have a small mouth and throat.

[-] Swedneck@discuss.tchncs.de 3 points 2 weeks ago

that should only result in smaller bites, definitely not pain unless you're trying to swallow whole chestnuts

[-] DeaDvey@lemmy.ml 1 points 2 weeks ago

Maybe uncomfortability is a better word?

[-] Swedneck@discuss.tchncs.de 1 points 2 weeks ago

still shouldn't happen if you're chewing food properly

[-] medgremlin@midwest.social 2 points 2 weeks ago

If they are proportional to each other, you shouldn't really be able to get more in your mouth than your esophagus can handle. There are some conditions that make the esophagus tense up wrong instead of making peristalsis.

That sounds concerning... are you alright?

Its said to be healthy and improve digestion to chew more and eat slowly so there isnt really any reason to stop.

[-] sunbather@beehaw.org 4 points 2 weeks ago

afaik its more based on time than number of chews, food generally spends about 10-20 seconds in your mouth if you aren't in a rush but it depends on the food and individual
