Difficulty swallowing sweet drinks.

Do you find it difficult to swallow sweet liquids? Well, you might be suffering from an inability to digest carbohydrates. It happened to me and after some experimenting on myself I pointed to excessive sugar consumption as the culprit. A search in Google confirmed my finding.

Difficulty in swallowing food in general can also be the result of an iron deficiency, so make sure your diet includes a lot of iron-rich foods such as raisins, leafy green vegetables (like spinach and broccoli), red meat (liver is the highest source), fish, poultry, eggs (yolk), legumes (green peas and beans), chick peas, almonds, apricots, beet root, pomegranate, dates, figs, and whole grain bread. It is important to note that absorption of iron is disrupted by phytin, tea, coffee, milk and other calcium-rich foods.

Several oral iron supplements are also available over the counter. The best absorption of iron is on an empty stomach. Vitamin C helps increase iron absorption
