Unable to keep food down

that is exactly what i am saying - there is no physical obstruction but you yourself said when you had the barium it is "backing up" and the manometry showed you have a motility issue. It is called esophageal achalasia. the regular GI docs i have found are not helpful with motility disorders. You need to find a specialty center that deals with it. - usually at a University hospital. where do you live - what state/city?

google "dr treating esophageal achalasia in new jersey"
it comes up with a bunch - i was unable to copy/paste into this "reply"

Matthew Grossman, M.D.
Robert Levine, M.D

and more....

you need to go to one of these who knows how to treat it. The regular GI docs mostly just treat the "regular stuff" like stomach ulcers, reflux, etc. Motility disorders are not that common - the abnormal manometry proves that this is what you have.

Thank you.

I'm really sorry to hear about the difficulties you're facing with your swallowing issues. It sounds like you've been through a challenging time. While I'm not a doctor, I can offer some general insights that might help you in your situation.

It's important to note that I can't provide a diagnosis, but I can suggest some possibilities based on the information you've shared. Swallowing difficulties and the sensation of something being stuck in your throat can be caused by various factors, including gastrointestinal and structural issues. However, it's not clear whether a prolapsed rectum is directly connected to your swallowing issues.

Given that you've already consulted multiple gastroenterologists without a clear diagnosis, here are a few steps you might consider:

If your current gastroenterologists haven't been able to pinpoint the cause of your symptoms, it might be beneficial to consult another specialist for a fresh perspective.

Ask about comprehensive tests that can help evaluate your swallowing issues more thoroughly. This could include tests like an upper endoscopy, barium swallow study, or esophageal manometry.

Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) can sometimes cause symptoms like a sensation of something being stuck in the throat, frequent burping, and regurgitation. It might be worth discussing this possibility with your doctors.

Certain food allergies or sensitivities could contribute to your symptoms. You might want to explore the possibility of getting tested for allergies or keeping a food diary to see if there's a correlation between your symptoms and your diet.

A speech-language pathologist with expertise in swallowing disorders (also known as a dysphagia specialist) could provide insights and exercises to help improve your swallowing function.

Sometimes, lifestyle changes such as adjusting your diet (eating smaller, more frequent meals) and maintaining good posture while eating can make a difference.

Prolonged medical issues can take a toll on mental health. Seeking support from a therapist or counselor might help you manage the emotional aspects of your situation.

Thank you did that already.

I was put on a nasal spray called GIMOTI does anyone know about this drug for difficulty swallowing please share.
