My mother is 85 years old and has been steadily losing weight.
Also, she has been experiencing problems with her throat.
Just recently she was diagnosed with a collapsing esophagus.
Her doctors recommend that she eat and drink food in a smaller amounts.
Also her food should be grinded up with a food chopper.
Can you tell me more about this condition.
Thank you.
