Gastroenterologist.

Bitter taste in mouth is from bile reflux (bile comes from the intestine into a stomach and upper), and chest burning is from acid reflux (stomach acid refluxes into esophagus) and this is from gallbladder/biliary tract disorders. First investigation is ultrasound of abdomen, and then you'll maybe need more specific tests lika HIDA scan or MRCP.

If you feel bloated and you burp a lot, have a test for H. pylori, which is also done by gastroenterologist.
