The only advice I would give is - get to your doctor as soon as possible. The way this disease presented itself when I was first in my doctors office, it was so rare they couldn't give me a straight diagnosis.
At it's very worst, I was at my doctors office everyday - just so desperate to get some help. I was emotionally and physically drained. I'd got to the point that I couldn't even swallow a glass of water without bringing it back up. I'd already lived on mashed potato and gravy for 3 years, it was the only thing I could suck up through a straw!
Seek medical advice immediately and challenge the doctor if they say it's NOT ACHALASIA!

Breathe. Its not the end of the world. You can do this!
Before I'd give any advice I'd listen to their story and do a thorough environmental assesment. Many environmental toxins cause or exacerbate the condition.

Find a doctor who listens to you. Be your own advocate that something is wrong.

Calm with the promises of the doctors. Avoid operations only and, in the extreme case). If you know before, do not change their habits radically, seek the best professionals. If you blame, you was born as well.
