Hi...sounds like u have gerd with IBS or some intestinal unbalance of some kind.

Could be that u have too much or too little acid and ur GI dr would have to do testing to see exactly what is going on.

For now u will want to avoid foods that will agitate this....we do have a list of foods to avoid and lifestyle tips in our Health Pages.

U did not mention how long this is going on, but there can be many reasons for this type of problem .....ur GI is the best to see.

Hi...well keep a journal of what u eat and how u feel to find ur personal triggers...not all safe foods listed may be safe for u...as well as foods to avoid, some may not affect u...it is a starting place.

Same thing with lifestyle tips...elevating the head of the bed helps, but if u smoke or drink alcohol or soda on a regular basis this will affect how u feel...and needs to be addressed as well as the use of meds.

The link I posted in the above post has many pages of good info including the ones I mentioned...foods to avoid, foods that r safe and lifestyle tips.

I pray u feel ok thru the wait till u see the dr
