No, the smooth muscles in your esophagus will push the food down into your stomach independent of gravity. This is why you can take a gulp of water upside down.
As for the stomach and intestines, they also have layers of smooth muscle called tunica muscularis that maintain peristalsis in order to keep the food going in the right direction.

Was going to say that same thing and also mention astronauts in space. There is no gravity for them and the muscles move the food.
