Are you talking about the esophagus?

I didn't find much about that term, but what I did find suggested that it has something to do with the tongue.  Sorry I couldn't be of more help.

I would go to the ER. I'm not sure where you are, but if you are in the States, you might try going to a minor emergency center. They are often open 24 hours, or at least on weekends. \nSounds like classic tonsilitis to me. If it is interfering with your ability to eat and drink then you should see a doctor as soon as you can. Try taking some ibuprofen or tylenol (paracetemol) to make yourself a little more comfortable.

tonsilitis. until you can get to the doctor, try to keep sucking on cough drops and/or hard candy.\n\nfeel better. and if you do get your tonsils removed then you get to eat ice cream!!

Hereditary is one cause.  She should go on a (ick) bland diet.  Keep Pepcid AC or Tums around.  Looking at it through an endoscope is going to find out where exactly the hernial is on the esophagus. Surgery on an esophageal hernia, in other words to fix it, can be very dangerous and is usually not recommended.

Cacner of the esophagus (throat).  If primary, its caused by tobacco products many times.

That's what you get for blowing smurf's and swallowing.\nWith regards to the taste try mixing in some m & m's that should take care of that.

Whatever it is, you are best off seeing a physician vs. asking on Yahoo Answers. Sounds like some type of respiratory irritation or infection that you feel when your food rubs against it (thus if you eat slow, and the food is more finely chewed, it doesn't irritate). Again, this could be something much more serious - if it is an infection it can spread + kill you.

The tongue is muscle tissue.

Sounds like a throat infection

Your mouth is in close proximity to your eardrums, yes.  Also you DO have a tube that travels from your inner ear to your posterior pharynx (back of your throat)  .  It is perfectly normal to hear crunching, munching, slurping or whatever you do inside your mouth.  lol\nHappy Thanksgiving, and don't get distracted by all these normal noises during your feast today !

A Chiari type I syndrome means that the very lowest part of the brain, the "tonsils" of the cerebellum, are sitting lower than normal. (These have nothing to do with the tonsils in your throat.)\n\nThe cerebellum, or "little brain", is the part at the back of the brain that controls balance and coordination. Normally, the cerebellar tonsils sit just at the base of the skull, above the hole in the base of the skull through which the spinal cord goes. (The hole is called the foramen magnum.) In Chiari type I, the tonsils are hanging down through the foramen magnum. They can be just a few millimeters down, or all the way down to the level of the 2nd vertebra in your neck (rarely even lower).\n\nHaving a Chiari I is not necessarily a problem. If there's enough space in the foramen magnum for both the spinal cord and upper brainstem (the part of the brain that feeds into the spinal cord, which controls a lot of important things like breathing, heart rate, and the lower cranial nerves that go to things like swallowing and eye movements), then no problem.\n\nHowever, if there's not much space, having the tonsils wedged in the foramen magnum can cause pressure on the brainstem and spinal cord, giving you problems with double vision, funny eye movements, poor balance, or swallowing problems. It can also impair the normal flow of fluid around the brain and spine, causing headaches.\n\nIf a Chiari malformation is symptomatic, surgeons can operate to remove some of the bone at the back of the skull, to make more room for the tonsils. They don't take any brain out, just relieve the pressure.\n\nHowever, in many cases, a Chiari is discovered because someone has a scan for some other reason (e.g., they had a minor head injury) and it is not producing any symptoms. This kind of "incidental" finding doesn't need treatment and you could well go the rest of your life without any surgery. It shouldn't limit your activity in any way, except that chiropractic neck manipulation is probably not a good idea.\n\nThe sites below have some excellent information, but can also be a bit scary. Rest assured, I've seen many people with Chiari type I who don't need surgery. (I'm a neurosurgeon.)\n\nOf note, Arnold was a pupil of Chiari and had his name attached to the syndrome for years, but it's now generally felt he doesn't deserve credit and a lot of surgeons just call it Chiari, not Arnold-Chiari, though you will still find info under either name.

What kind of feeling is it in your throat when you say nagging? like a cough, biley hot feeling, tickle? thickness?  It could be alot of things.  Have you ever had your thyroid checked out with blood work?  I'm not a doctor but if I were you knowing what I do about different illnesses, I would ask for a complete bloodwork check to check out the thyroid, white counts, etc.  Also a sinus xray to see if there really is an infection.  The ear problems could be related to sinus but also you could have an inner or middle ear infection or just fluid in there that needs to be treated.  The lymph nodes are what take the gunk out of your body, they also send antibodies and antigens to fight off problems so it sounds like something might be draining into those nodes.  It could be related to your stomach problems if you had alot of acid reflux, because when you lay down at night, it would back up in the throat and the area between the throat and sinus.  You could have an infection there.  You need to be on a special diet for the bowel and stomach problems, has anyone helped you with that?  Sometimes they send people to dieticians, other times just tell you to watch what you eat.  You can find diet help here if you don't have info already:  http://www.helpforibs.com/diet/faq.asp#break_cycle\n\nDefinitely get back to the doctor or find a new dr that will run the tests you need to find out what is really wrong.

try putting a piece of ductape over your mouth. But if you have to eat. Go with the basics. No Meat. Its hard to digest. Go with some raw vegetables. A salad. Something like that. If you go that route you wont be filling yourself with bad calories and fat. I like to eat a piece of fruit at night. Its sweet and fills a void.
