Why does food keep coming back up, undigested, 10 minutes after eating?

Question

I went to my doctor couple times this month, for heartburn and stomachaches, and she prescribed protonix 40 mg (prilosec didn't work for me). I've taken it now for a week, and there are immediate results - no more burning in my chest.. but food still goes up - I get this strong urge to burp, and a whole bunch of undigested food comes out of my mouth, I'm not sure if it's considered throwing up, because I can somewhat control it, but it's very uncomfortable and gross.. I'm not sure why I still have this, while my acid is gone. I also just feel sick to my stomach, this uncomfortable feeling in my stomach, and a lot of bloating. Anyone have any suggestions? Thanks!

Answer 1

It does sound like reflux, but prilosec or protonix should have fixed it. Just keep going to your doctor... he is likely going through a trial and error phase with you right now to rule out the most serious things.
