Gastric reflux?

I am 2 years out from a gastric  bypass and for a while now I have been experiencing a bitter taste in my mouth about 10-15 minutes after eating. It passes but I have been chewing gum to tolerate the taste until it goes away. I called the MD on my team who was unfamiliar with my symptoms but suggested trying an OTC pp inhibitor like Prevacid, Omeprazole (same thing). Still happens.

Anyone familiar with this symptom?

thx

 Yes indeed it sounds like GERD...
Reasons why???
could be eating too fast
spicy foods?
keep track of what you eat when this occurs I have had GERD my entire life....and still have it... someimes I have to take nexium twice a day to get it back under control...I always take it at least once a day.  for me acidic foods and any junkie like food inflames it for me....
anyhow I hope this is helpful
