Can sour pickles erode your esophagus?
I eat one of t hose big sour pickles just about every day and lately i've found that it hurts really bad when I swallow a cold drink. It burns in just one place and feels like theres food stuck or something. Its really weird and uncomfortable but I don't think its heart burn so anyone know if it could be from the acid of the vinegar in the pickles?

How many sodas are you drink a day? I used to drink many Perriers a day and gave myself a throat ulcer.
It healed within a week when I finally figured that out!
I think it's not the pickle but the soda!
See if you can kick the pickle and/or soda for a week!

Sounds like you're coming down with a cold (so you have touchy patches in your throat). It may not be the pickle as must as the acid. Try rinsing your pickles well, just in case. If it persists, go to the doc.
Hello:
I have never heard of people getting ulcers from eating dill pickles. It sounds like you have a stomach ulcer that you may not even be aware of until you eat things that are sour and spicy. I would suggest that you go to your doctor and most likely he will refer you to an internist that deals with stomach problems.
maybe you already have some ulcer or at least the beginning of an ulcer. does it hurts when you have any other high acidity or spicy food ? go get that check by your doc.
