A Schatzki's ring is a ring of tissue that forms inside the esophagus, the tube that carries food and liquid to your stomach. This ring makes the esophagus narrow in one area, close to where it meets the stomach. It can make it hard to swallow.
This is caused by long term irritation from poor digestive function, which should be treated holistically (to improve digestive function).
Patients with this condition experience food getting stuck in their esophagus as the restriction is before the stomach.
The good news is that there is a medical procedure to expand the ring which results in immediate relief. The procedure is safe and minimally invasive. It doesn't not treat the cause (the poor digestive function) but the benefit of the procedure can last up to 5 years.
