Everytime I eat a normal meal I'm finding it hard to get food down once I've swallowed it, its almost as if its getting stuck trying to get down. And it takes ages before my esophagus feels clear, it almost feels like I need to regurgitate some of it back up.

I had a bit of heartburn when I was on Pred, and am getting it occasionally now, but thats not so much of an issue. Is this acid reflux? And are there any OTC medicines that are recommended for this? I'm in the UK.

That's kind of how it started for me. I would eat and it always felt like things were stuck sort like there was a huge lump in my chest. I told my GI and he said it sounded like acid reflux and he put me on Prilosec. Since then I have had no issues with that feeling.

I'll mention it at my next appointment, or to my GP. I did mention it a while ago to the nurse and she said its related to all thats going on with the UC, but how? Its very annoying, had a cup of tea 2 hours ago and can still feel something in the back of my throat!
