No, I don't get any of that.

Swallowing is fine. Never had an issue with that.

Eating doesn't relief to the lump feeling. It makes it worse, especially if it's something acidic (which I avoid).

My current theory is that the food actually irritates my throat on its way down, and not from refluxing back up.

Picture your throat being red/irritated, and anything passing through will kinda bother it, especially if acidic. That's what I think is going on.
