I thought food just slid down into the stomach. This is really interesting. I wonder how the muscles know that food/bolus is there, and to contract or relax. It's all automatic, or unconsciously done.

if we have a problem with peristalsis, is it safe to safe we could have a sphincter malfunction problem?

Hi. I'm having an anxiety problem where I'm afraid of choking, but when I say choking, I don't mean when food blocks the air pipe. I mean when the food is swallowed normally and on it's way down, if I eat too many bites at once without taking regular sips of liquid, it feels like the food isn't going down quick enough, then when I finally take a drink, it feels like it's forcing it and sometimes I end up gagging and the drink ends up being regurgitated up again and it can be really uncomfortable - it's almost like a drowning sensation, I've been struggling with this for the past year and there are times where I can't bring myself to take a drink during a meal because I'm scared of the same thing happening again. I took a barium swallow study at the hospital but the results came back fine and there was nothing wrong with my swallow, but I don't know how to fix the anxiety issue. Could you please explain to me what this is and is it normal?
