Hi,

I was diagnosed with achalasia type 2 in July this year having started to feel unwell in August 2019. i've been on a soup / soft diet since November 2019 and just had my first balloon dilation 5 days ago. Any tips on what foods and how to introduce ? I've pushed myself with cauliflower cheese today but takes me so long to eat ! I feel its made no difference and easier to stick with soup - anyone got any tips they can share ? Have I got an unrealistic impression of how my future eating will be ?
