Regurgitation of undigested food with a bird's beak on barium swallow suggests achalasia. Manometry is the best (gold standard) test: it shows failure of LES relaxation and aperistalsis. Upper GI endoscopy is still done, but only to rule out pseudoachalasia (for example cancer), not to make the diagnosis.
