"Some people don't like the food that makes them feel like they choke". Is it sound unnatural ?
Hi, I wanted to convey the situation where you don't like feeling of chocking.
For example, " I don't like the feeling of chocking. " or "I don't like the food that makes me feel as if I choke "
As you know, there are foods like Sweet potato or heavy bread that might make you choke.
I'd like to use this word "choke" but I'm just wondering if it sounds unnatural.
How should I say more natural?
Thank you in advance !

Answer

You probably mean gagging.

Answer

I'm not sure what sensation you are trying to describe. Choking is when your air way is obstructed making it difficult or impossible to breath. Do you mean you have difficulty swallowing or do these foods make you want to bring it back up? If you mean you want to bring it back up it could mean gagging (or if it actually comes back up you would call it vomiting). If you have difficulty swallowing or it's painful there's a medical condition called Dysphagia but I don't really know if that's what you mean either.
