What Causes Difficulty In Eating Food In An Elderly Woman?
My mother in laws doctors can not figure out what is wrong with her, she has lost over 100# s pounds this year, she is only eating/drinking liquids now, she can t eat. Food makes her gag. She has seen a regular dr. and a gastroentologist. She has had an MRI from neck to pelvis area and a colonoscopy, any other tests she has had done all come out negative.
