Default Not being able to eat solid foods

Whenever I try to eat solid foods, I end up choking continuously on every bite, unless I am extremely hungry. Therefore, I just grind up the food in a blender and then drink it all, so that way I do not choke at all (as long as it's all ground up). Does/has anyone else experience(d) this problem?

Well, I suppose going to the doctor would be a good start.

This sounds pretty concerning - how long have you been experiencing this? Perhaps this is an obvious question, but do you chew your food very well? It definitely helps. Is your mouth dry? If so perhaps less salivary flow might be a factor. It is interesting that you mention this does not happen when you are extremely hungry, and I suggest considering what effects this. Lastly, what kind of foods are you eating/blending? All I've mentioned are simply suggestions of some factors to think about and hopefully you will find ways to lessen discomfort. Also as the above poster mentioned, checking in with professional medical advice is definitely a good idea. I hope all goes well.

I am eating/blending vegetables, fruits, mushrooms, oat bran, ground flaxseeds, and beans. I think that it is a salivary flow issue because my mouth and throat are dry a lot of the time, especially when I am on the computer (right now). I am pretty sure that I chew my food pretty well before attempting to swallow it.

Does some part of you reject food or nourishment? Do you find food disgusting? Do you eat when you aren't hungry? Do you eat foods your body does not want?

These are some questions you might consider.
