Hi Dear ,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern.

Brief answer - Dyspepsia

Detailed answer - As per your query stomach bloating, acid reflex after eating spicy food mainly occurs because of one main reason i.e delayed gastric emptying. Food stays in stomach for longer time and do not pass away and it causes bloating and acidic taste in mouth and feeling of heart burn.

I would suggest you to avoid the cause i.e the fatty food as much as you can. If you have to take them distribute it into small meals. Don't lay down immediately on bed after having fast food. Antacids like Omeprazole will help you to relieve symptoms.

Visit Gastroenterologist once if you have severe symptoms of abdominal pain and get ultrasound or gastrodudenoscopy done to find out the exact cause and get it treated accordingly..

Hope your concern has been resolved.
