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 structure or spasm that can be fixed.
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.
Yeah, I never really actively swallow, it’s too painful, I just wait for the food to slide down.
That sounds concerning… are you alright?

It’s probably just that I have a small mouth and throat.
that should only result in smaller bites, definitely not pain unless you’re trying to swallow whole chestnuts
Maybe uncomfortability is a better word?
