[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 378610, member: 1991"] Something to keep in mind - we don't always realise, but swallowing issues come under the professional care of speech pathologists. you might need to ask around to find one who specialises in swallowing (as distinct from language issues). Speech pathologists deal with issues relating to the physical structure and function of the mouth and pharynx as well as physical aspects of speech, right into the language centres of the brain and including sign language. Very broad, often very complex. In order to determine whether there is any possibly physical component to the swallowing problem, she might need to be checked out by a speech pathologist who is a swallowing expert. Looking at her list of issues, you have bipolar, sensory issues and anxiety all in there. That alone can be enough to cause a lot of headaches with swallowing. I think you're right to be dealing with it now, even while you have to still tiptoe carefully to avoid this tipping over into a potentially nasty eating disorder. Let us know how you get on.
