Is it normal to have some reflux when you don't eat for a good while?

Yes, you may..: If not eating properly the acid balance of your stomach might not be the best especially if the little you eat is irritant to it and cause acid reflux. Make sure you eat your three balanced meals and avoid fatty foods, fried foods, sauces, citric fruits and juices, caffeine, smoking, among others. If symptoms are persistent or severe make sure you see your doctor for evaluation.

NO: It is not normal to get reflux simply when you have not eaten for a while.
