What Causes Trouble Swallowing Certain Types Of Foods?

I am a 47 yr old male, for the last year or so when I eat i am having trouble swallowing my food, I can breath and i am not choking, but the food sits in my throat, and the only way to get it out is to throw it up, Sometimes my throat will relax and swallow, it feels like i get the hiccups when it happens. It never happens if i have a bowl of cereal, i can eat Pizza fine. Eggs sometimes, potatoes sometimes chicken, I even couldn't swallow my moms homemade chicken noodle soup, i have been eating that for 40yrs. I feel fine, but always worry whenever i eat that i will have to puke it back up. And the food never gets by my adams apple so its not like i am throwing it up from my stomach. Thank your for any input in solving this issue.

ENT Specialist 's  Response
Hi, you are having dysphasia. this needs to be evaluated. you have to consult doctor, get your throat and pharynx checked.
you need to be evaluated completely with an endoscopy and a barrium swallow study.
any neurological disorders of swallowing ,or any mass in the pharynx and larynx can also cause this dysphagiax.
please consult doctor.
