Digestive conditions

Achalasia

You may have achalasia if it is challenging for liquid and food to pass through your esophagus into your stomach. In achalasia, your esophagus muscles do not work properly, making it more difficult for food to pass into the stomach, which runs the risk of food becoming lodged in the esophagus.

Possible symptoms include:

  • Dysphagia—feeling solid food or liquids getting stuck in the throat or chest
  • Regurgitation—spitting up after drinking/eating
  • Chest pain
  • Weight loss

Diagnostic testing and procedures

Ablation therapy

Ablation therapy is a technique that can be used to remove abnormal or diseased tissue in the GI tract. There are multiple forms of ablation therapy used to treat different conditions including Barrett's esophagus and removal of small tumors.
