Hello,
I think you are having hyperacidity problems. To me you should:
- have small portion and frequent meals
- take antacids after eating
- simethicone and probiotics will help with swelling and stabilize intestinal flora respectively
If still no improvement, should check out with gastroenterologist further.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
