    I always litterally feel like I have to puke after I eat, like it feel like I've ate to much even if I haven't. I feel it going up my throat and it's nasty so of course I go and puke, then I get really hungry again and the same thing happens I have to go puke or I'm left feeling really uncomfortable... and I'm always left with really bad acid reflux.. if I don't puke I have acid and puke running up my throat.

    This happen to anyone else, do you know why?

    you should focus on what youre eating when this happens.. is it all the time, everytime you have a meal or it is only when you have certain things or at certain times of the day? I think you really should go to your doctor and ask about this because this could be very dangerous for your health. I think it might be important for you to eat lower on the food chain, no meat and always cook your food before you eat it.

    What you have described sounds a lot like bulimia nervosa. It's an eating disorder that's characterized by self-induced vomiting after eating. The self-induction does not necessarily mean that you mechanically initiate the gag reflex. It can be caused by problems with the esophageal or gastric sphincters or some of the organs of digestion. If it continues, you should see a specialist. This can cause extreme life-threatening inbalances.

    Sound slike you might have acid reflex that is not allowing you to digest you food. try an otc acid reducer (like prilosec) and see your doctor. I hope it's somethng as simple as that. :)

    It's gastroesophageal or gastric reFLUX. Heartburn is just a symptom of GERD. It's more sound to have testing done to rule out GERD. It's also not prudent to recommend medications like that.
    This needs to be looked at my an internist... and this is really not something to put off. There is high risk of hernias and irreparable esophageal damage if this condition continues.

    That's very helpful thank you. I searched it because I didn't know what that was and it sounds like I more than likely have it, considering I have suffered from stomach ulcers in the past.

    it's not prudent to reccomend an otc that worked for me as a recovering bulimic in controlling my extreme nasaeu and acid build up after I eat every meal? I am sorry. I thought she was asking for advice? Trying some over the countrt medicine and reccomending she sees a doctor is 'not prudent'?

    Oh my god why oh why do people take themselves so fucking seriously all the time-especially men. I cannot handle it anymore. YOu all need to realize that your dick does not make you god or the overseer of all adivice.

    go to the doctor

    stomach ulcers are more or less cureable now, if you doctor doesn't know this move on or ring up the australian medical association (the AMA) it is the governmental medical department of australia and they might be able to point you in the right direction.
