That’s rough! Some members have had GI issues, it can be caused by vagus nerve irritation, and the swallowing issues could be from the glossopharyngeal nerve which is commonly affected by ES…Some members have had swallow tests done- usually because of pain & difficulty swallowing, one of the ‘hoops’ doctors make people go through before accepting it could be due to ES. But that might be worth having done in your case? One of our members with hyoid bone issues also mentioned this cricopharyngeal spasm, but I don’t know really how you can differentiate between this & ES causing nerve then swallowing issues. Here’s info:

This discussion is also helpful as @GrnyAny explains how badly her vagus nerve affected her:

I hope that you’re able to find some other options for liquid medication
