Digestive issues

Yes I have had that done. They see nothing but some backup but other than nothing to obstruct my throat. The good passes down but I don't understand why I have the feeling of something is stuck. Again I am mometry done and says my esophagus is moving properly so the source I need to know is how do I keep food down and not have a feeling as if food is stuck I don't have to manually regurgitate after a burp that doesn't seem to want to come up??

I misspelled a lot of words. I had a mometry done and it says my esophagus is not working properly it's an Esophageal motility issues. Unknown how I had received this night mare. And it was supposed to have read food not good. I apologize for the misspelling.

So sorry to hear about your digestive issues…miserable and dangerous.
I had some similar experiences, not being able to swallow, had gerd, hiatal hernia, swollen esophagus, etc etc.
First doc, seemed to have no clue and ordered no tests. I lost a lot of unnecessary weight, and started to loose focus. In desperation, I went to a privately owned supplement and vitamin store. Explained my situation and they recommended something that is made from a porcine enzyme (pig) product. Again, desperate…Well, after several days I was able to eat and not feel like something was stuck. Told doc about this product, and as he walked out of the room said there were better things than that. 😱 never shared that info…
Changed docs…
Second doc ordered 4 tests within 2 weeks, and found some things…and put me on a diet for CIBO.
Changed my life…you have to be completely diligent on the FODMAP diet, so read about this stuff. Lots of info online.
There is also an expensive med that might work in your situation, but still have to stick to the diet. If that is something you need.
Good luck and keep searching!!!

Thank you can you share the drug so I can see if I can receive it. Again thank you

It has been about 3-4 years, I think it was rifaximin. Some docs won’t RX it because you don’t have the right/wrong issue.
You still have to follow the diet carefully, as the goal is to starve the bad bacteria. If you give them a snack, they are off and running!!! If you have been diagnosed with SIBO, you can get really amazing info about the diet online. 3 months and then slowly add forbidden foods 🤣
‘SingleCare’ treatments and medication, Mayo, and IBS Diets and FODMAP food lists are great sources.
With your doctor’s help, only you can heal yourself if you have SIBO…
Good luck!

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.
