You might also be having what some poeple refer to as "first bite syndrome" - basically an esophageal spasm that starts with your first bites of food. Some people find relief by drinking warm liquids before trying to eat solid food.
I know how miserable that "stuck" feeling is, your brain just can't focus on anything else while it's happening.

i hate sliming....happens to me about once a week because i don't pay attention to my eating....or i attempt something i know won't go down....warm drinks help me as does water with lemon....before eating....it also takes me about an hour to eat every meal....which is fine by me....an hour for 2 - 4 oz's - who would have thought....after my first bite - i sit for 15 minutes to see how i am digesting it and that determines how the rest of the meal will go....being in a hurry is not an option anymore....i have been unfilled and refilled from 10ccs back to 0ccs back to 10.5ccs now with increments in between....it will settle....we each acclimate differently....
