Hi Phillip, I just saw your post and I’m curious about what was done for the achalasia? I was just dx along with severe malabsorption with 50lb weight loss since February.
I have horrible, chronic chest pain all the way round. I’m good as long as I don’t eat or drink, lol.

Welcome @cheryl46, I'm not sure @shack76 is still following Connect so I thought I would jump in case he doesn't see your reply. There is another discussion on achalasia mentioning weight loss that I think you might find helpful reading what others have shared.

Achalasia type 111: https://connect.mayoclinic.org/discussion/achalasia-type-111/

You might also find the following article helpful -- " Achalasia can cause considerable weight loss and malnutrition. People with achalasia ..." --- Achalasia: A Disorder of the Esophagus: https://my.clevelandclinic.org/health/diseases/17534-achalasia

Have you looked into any specific treatments?
