Brief Answer:
Possibility of GERD is more likely.

Detailed Answer:
Thanks for your question on Ask a doctor forum.
I can understand your concern.
By your history and description, possibility of GERD (gastro esophageal reflux disease) is more likely.
In this, lower end of esophagus is not constricted so food, gas, acid comes up and gives such sensations.
You need to consult gastroenterologist and get done upper GI (gastrointestinal) scopy to diagnose this.
Treatment is proton pump inhibitors (pantoprazole or omeprazole) and prokinetic drug (levosulperide).
Please let me know
1. Do you smoke?
6. Do you drink alcohol?
