Delda, I too used to bite the inside of my mouth 3-4 times a meal. Then I read somewhere that this can only happen if someone is attempting to chew and swallow at the same time. I could have sworn that I was doing no such thing, but armed with this information I analysed my eating technique and realised that that was exactly what I was doing. I have trained myself to stop chewing before I swallow and no longer have the problem. I hope this works for Bob. Dennis.
