Burping vomit?!


Question:

Burping vomit?

This is going to sound gross, but sometimes when I burp, some liquidy stuff comes up to the back of my throat and I get this puke taste in my mouth for a second. I don't fully vomit, I just feel it in the back of my throat and I taste it, but it doesn't come out of my mouth or anything. Is this just a normal part of burping, or should I be concerned?


Answers:

What you are describing is called gastroesophageal reflux. There is medication available by perscription and also you can help yourself by elevating the head of your bed by 6 inches. This should be treated because if it continues you will inflame your esophagus as well.
