[Dysphagia] Re: Alternative food thickeners

[eripley at yahoo.com (Irene Campbell-Taylor)]

This is a case report of two patients only and must be regarded in this context. I am not satisfied that the patients decribed actually had cricopharyngeal achalasia - a very difficult thing to prove and dependent laregley on a full medical history.

Do any of you have 1) an opinion about the article and/or 2) experience with the procedure?
