A medical condition characterized by the absence of chyme, the semi-liquid food mixture that results from digestion in the stomach.
From Greek 'a-' (without) and 'chymos' (juice), literally 'without juice.' This describes the absence of the normal viscous digestive product needed for proper intestinal digestion.
Achymia reveals how specific medical conditions affect digestion stages—the stomach produces chyme, which then moves to the small intestine, so achymia means the whole digestive cascade fails downstream.
