You may have heard or read somewhere that gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) is caused by the failure of the lower esophageal sphincter (LES) to seal properly, enabling gastric acid and other stomach stuff to exit the stomach and climb up into the esophagus. Achalasia, as previously stated, is the failure of the LES to enable food that you swallow to enter the stomach because it remains closed. By the way, your LES is a sphincter or muscle ring located at the bottom of the esophagus or food pipe, just where it links to the stomach. Some specialists feel that achalasia runs in families, which indicates that it is a condition that can be passed down from parent to child. Other medical experts believe the condition is autoimmune, in which the individual's immune system assaults the LES cells, causing them to deteriorate and fail to function properly. Achalasia can affect people of all ages. Yet, it is more prevalent among middle-aged and elderly people. Individuals who have autoimmune illnesses are more likely to develop it.
