Achalasia is a rare disorder that makes it difficult for food and liquid to pass into your stomach. It occurs when the nerves in the esophagus become damaged, causing the lower esophageal sphincter to fail to relax and the esophagus to lose its ability to push food down.
Approximately 1 in 100,000 people per year (Source: Orphanet Journal of Rare Diseases, 2017)
