hey dr. jeff. awhile back i had this problem that food didn't feel like it was going in to the right tube rightat the top of my stomach, near the solar plexus. this was confirmed when one time i was drinking cold water and you could acutally see condensation on the surface of my stomach in a line going down where the water missed. since then i've been doing this massage like technique i found out about that helps. acupuncture also helps. however, this hasn't gone away and it makes it very difficult to eat as much food as i want since over eating irritates it. i think the constipation also makes it worse. i'm alerady splitting my food in to 6 meals/day. this problem was probably caused by the previous 4 years vastly overeating in very large quantities. do you have any solution to this? thanks.
