Acid in my stomach?

I've had acid reflux for as long as I can remember so I'm quite familiar with the different sensations (bad taste in mouth, burning in chest, etc) but for the past week I've had this strange feeling in my stomach. It literally feels like bubbly acid, usually this would be associated with a sour stomach but when I go to the bathroom everythings fine. It's bothering me and lately the pains been getting worse. I eat and right afterwards it either goes away for a few minutes or gets worse, like right now I've been feeling my breakfast at the back of my throat since 11 but nothings come out.
I have no idea what this is but its really annoying, and uncomfortable, so if anyone could tell me whats up that'd be great :)

hmmmmmmmmm, may I ask y ur not on a med to help reduce the acid?.....I know it can take awhile to be effective, but they do help.

It is possible that there is more in ur diet affecting u than u know...I know I have things I eat...that I really shouldn't....but I am cutting back..and I am on meds.

I know what affects me also, but it is funny how things I never thought affected me really do.....just a thought.

I'm currently not on any meds. I don't keep a journal because I have a general idea of what to stay away from (like orange soda makes me really sick and coffee makes me gag).

I'm a really big hot sauce fan so yeah I'd really love to be able to eat some tobasco sauce again without having to go through all the chest pain.
Honestly I can't name anything that would be affecting my diet at the moment =/

What meds are u onat present?

If u do not have a hiatal hernia, there must be something else going on that is causing the acid reflux.

Do u keep a journal to see ur triggers be they food or stress??

I can relate to how u feel and during a flare I just want my life back too.

Could there be something in ur diet that is affecting u now??

Nope I dont have a hiatal hernia. My diets been the same for about a year now, I don't like adding new things to it since theres some foods that irritate my stomach pretty badly.

Hi and welcome to the forum.

May I ask if u have a hiatal hernia?.....and what meds are u on?

All of us will have different foods that will affect us- there is a list of safe foods in our Health Pages.Not everyone will be able to eat all foods considered safe...and u may be able to eat foods on a list to avoid.We all have to learn what we can tolerate.

I would suggest u speak with ur dr and re evaluate ur meds.
