What Dee said, up above me! Chew like crazy! I don't have a "tell" like some people, but I'm learning that before that happens I get a slight amount of pressure in my chest, just very slight. I have to pay close attention when I'm eating to be able to notice it (which mindful eating is always good!). If I feel that I don't take even one more bite. I've been able to avoid the stuck food agony since I noticed that. And definitely CHEW, CHEW, CHEW!
I get that too and it's miserable. Then I start spitting up. The slower I eat--the better. I think my bites are too big sometimes, too. Someone on here heard that pickle juice helps. Other people recommended papaya enzymes.
