Chocolate

[Guest guest]

Thank you for all the information you have all offered me. Much

appreciated. My doctor says I should have the myotomy done, so I am

looking forward to getting this all fixed.

I am not sure if this has been discussed before (tried to do a search

but too many result to sift through!) but I told my GI about my need

for chocolate, and he said that this is the food that will relax that

sphincter muscle, due to the hormonal reaction it creates. He says for

non-achalasia patients with normal reflux, it is the first thing he

tells them to stop eating.

So it wasn't just that I love chocolate - it actually does help!

I found this interesting anyway.
