Case in Point: 54-year old man
He underwent esophageal reconstruction.
One year and seven months after surgery, the transplanted jejunum (small intestine) still performed active peristalsis (shrinking movement of the intestine). The man cannot drink tea or consume a meal during peristaltic movement, the occurrence of which is autonomic and uncontrollable. The man must therefore make it a practice to eat only after confirming that this movement has subsided. When he drinks something cold, the movement starts, and sometimes painfully.
When such movement occurs during the practice of esophageal speech, air intake into the esophagus is greatly hampered. Trying to force air into the esophagus only causes it to remain more firmly shut. The innermost part of the throat convulses and the sense of strangulation becomes intensified. In this case, he must stop training and wait for the convulsive movement to cease.
He sometimes feels almost good perhaps once during a full day.
Another person who had undergone the same surgical procedure suffered these automatic convulsive movements in the initial stage of training, but found that they subsided with the passage
