Yes, ME!!! I could be drinking something (like decaf tea or coffee), eating something (like a brownie or a piece of fruit or pie even) and I will do what I call a "backwash" meaning the bile comes back up my throat and I either swallow it back or spit up. It is extremely unattractive (must maintain some decor my lovelies!!!)). I think I have GERD too because everything being discussed, I am going through!! Just great!!! One more thing to add to our long list of problems!!!

That is when you eat something, doesn't matter what ussualy, and you get heartburn, or vomit up or just " urp " up an acidy blie following your meals > or food intake? The heartburn can actually hurt in the chest. Any one?
