"text": "Achalasia is a rare disorder of the food pipe (oesophagus) that makes it difficult to swallow food and drink. Normally, the muscles of the oesophagus contract to push food toward the stomach, and a ring of muscle at the lower end relaxes to allow food to enter. In achalasia, the oesophageal muscles do not contract properly and the ring of muscle fails to open fully or at all, preventing food and drink from passing into the stomach. As a result, food becomes stuck in the oesophagus and is often brought back up.",
