You need to see an ENT, an ear, nose and throat doctor. It could be an obstruction in your throat.

you're uvula sucks

your body is telling you either you are full, or your body does not need anymore nutrition, it has all it needs and it doesnt want anymore, so you gag, it's weird what your body does isnt it!?

It means that you need to be evaluated by a trained physician as soon as possible. There are too many possible reasons behind such a condition and no one can properly diagnose you without seeing you. Please make an appointment to see a doctor.

Sounds a bit like DYSPHAGIA.a condition where your esophagus is too constricted so that food gets "caught in your throat". This can be fixed by any gastrointestinal or general surgeon: they do a procedure call an upper endoscopy (or EGD, which stands for EsophaGogastroDuodenoscopy), which involves insertio of a flexible fiberoptic tube passed through the esophagus and into the stomach; during this procedure a balloon device is inserted into the esophagus and gently inflates, slightly dilating the esophagus, which in most cases solves the problem.

You could have an esophagus that is eroded which is serious.
