How Can Indigestion Be Treated?
When I eat something it s like my food sits in my stomach, it s not getting digested. It s seems like after after a couple of days it sours on my stomach and I start feeling like I m going to throw up and then I do and it has a horrible smell to it. It s like it s sat there and just soured on my stomach. I have IBS, could it be part of this?

Hello
Welcome to health care magic
It seems you have gastro oesophageal reflux disease associated with IBS.IBS is a condition affecting large intestine.It may not be a directly causing GERD but can be associated with it.
You may also need to review with your doctor about any anti inflammatory medicines you must be taking for IBS.These medicines may enhance gastric reflux.
If I were your treating doctor,I recommend,
-Taking PPIs like omeprazole for 1 month.
_Avoiding alcohol,smoking,high fat content,hot,spicy food,carbonated and caffeinated drinks.These may excaberate the symptoms.
-Keep body weight within control by regular exercising.
-Drink plenty of water.
-Keep a gap of atleast 3 hours after your last meals and before going to bed.
If the symptoms donot lesssen in 7 days consult with gastro enterologist.He /She may advice you investigations like upper GI endoscopy and X ray barium meal oesophagus to confirm the diagnosis and assess its severity.
Hope this information helps.
