Brief Answer:
Add regular amounts of water and juices during meals

Detailed Answer:
Hi XXXX,
Thanks for writing in to us.

I have read through your query in detail.
Please find my observations below.

1. Achalasia cardia is a condition causing esophageal dysmotility and is treated commonly with balloon dilatation. If balloon dilatation does not work and patient is young then esophageal myotomy can be thought of but this is to be done in experienced centers. Botulinum toxin treatment is given in specialized centers in those who do not get relief by these ways.

2. If the above methods do not help then pharmacological treatment with calcium channel blockers or nitrates is given.

3. There are no nutritional supplements which will cure you from achalasia cardia. However some lifestyle changes in addition to medical treatment can help you live better.
(i) Avoid spicy and hot foods
(ii) Eat small amounts at regular intervals and avoid large meals
(iii) Include regular amounts of water and juices when you eat your food
(iv) Avoid sleeping for 3 hours after food
(v) The head end of your bed can be kept 6 inches above the foot end

Hope your query is answered.
Please do write back if you have any doubts.
