Possibly several: It sounds to me if there are a couple of possibilities. Possibly gluten, dairy or food tomato intolerance/allergy. In addition to this could just be gastritis from spicy food too. Keep a food diary more closely and see if a pattern emerges.

Avoid trigger foods (spicy, acidic, caffeine, soda pop, fried/fatty/greasy foods); don't lie down for 30 minutes after eating; elevate head of bed.
