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.
