Living with Achalasia

Once most patients receive definitive treatment, they can lead a normal life.
However, because the oesophagus has lost mobility, a series of recommendations have to be followed:
Avoid irritating and fatty foods.
Avoid foods with a very solid texture (e.g. hard, lumpy or crunchy).
Eat a light dinner early to prevent acid reflux into the oesophagus.
Be careful with drinking hot and cold drinks and avoid stressful or nervous situations. These can cause painful chest spasms.
