Difficulty Swallowing Food and Fluids
I recently developed difficulty swallow solids and liquids. I am choking often. It's real scary. Has anyone experienced this problem? Could it be related to Crohns?
Sorry to hear that you are struggling. I personally have not had this but I do know that Crohn's can happen anywhere in the digestive tract so it is possible to affect your swallowing but it might be something different so I would check with either your GP or GI to be sure.
Let us know how you get on.

Hi
. First, let me echo Vern on the importance of bringing these new symptoms to the attention of your doctor. I know thrush can cause problems with swallowing and cause a choking feeling. Our patient leader Kelly J wrote about this here: https://inflammatoryboweldisease.net/living/thrush. Of course, only a doctor can provide the proper diagnostics and there are certainly other potential causes. Hoping you get some answers and relief soon.

All the time! I now take magnesium gylcinate three times a day and it has helped tremendously! I read it in an article. Also, there are certain foods i stay away from that bring on the heartburn like orange juice. -Elizabeth (team member)
