treva, glad my info helped you!! Let me also say that based on your feeling that food is stuck in your throat it sounds very much like hiatal hernia. In fact that is the classic symptom !! Hiatal hernia isn't as bad as it sounds, it is basically the stomach moving out of its place up toward the food pipe and messing up your digestion. It is treatable with diet.

Not sure about the trampoline, but that is probably a good idea haven't seen that recommended anywhere. But the self treatment I have seen recommended for hiatal hernia is upon arising drink 8 ounces of warm water. Then rise up on your tippy toes and drop down on your heels real fast. Do that 3 times. This causes the stomach to drop back down where it belongs and works very well.

Before you start any time of program of cleanse I suggest you research hiatal hernia also. Sosick has some great information and cleanses are usually beneficial but hiatal hernia and ileocecal valve problems can cause sensitivities that can be exacerbated but various herbs and other materials used so I think it would be prudent for you to check that out first.

Plenty of water and proper diet will address the problem Sosick mentioned about any food blocking the ileocecal. So best to start there first. Hiatal hernia and ileocecal valve are interrelated so if you have one you most likely also have the other. I've noticed personally that if I eat foods that exacerbate my hiatal hernia (fatty foods) then my ileocecal becomes a problem and vice versa.
