What Is Bile Reflux And How Can It Be Treated ?

Yes my stomach feels like it is filling up with either acid or bile. This feeling makes me feel bloated and uncomfortable and I cannot sleep because of this. I also woke up abruptly from sleep a few hours ago and cannot go back. What should I do?

General & Family Physician,  's  Response
You seem to have Gastro-Esophageal Reflux Disease (GERD). You may do the following for relief: (1) Stop taking late, spicy, oily meals. There should be a gap of minimum two hours between sleep time and dinner time. (2) Do not drink excessive amounts of liquids for 1 hour and 30 minutes after a major meal. (3) Do not lie down. If possible walk or sit. (4) Lose weight if you are obese. (5) As a last resort you may take a combination of a Proton Pump Inhibitor (Pantaprazole, Rabeprazole) with Prokinetic (Domperidone / Itopride).
