Well : Well it sounds like you may be describing gastroesophageal reflux(gerd). This is a condition where excess acid produced in the stomach reflexes into the esophagus and when this occurs food and acidic fluid can be tasted in the back of the mouth. I recommend that you have your son evaluated by his doctor right away. If this is in fact the problem then a cause may be identified and treatment initiated. Good luck.

Please clarify: The way the question is asked makes it hard to answer. It reads as you are having now symptoms of regurgitation after your son experienced similar symptoms for years due to bad taste. I suspect you are still talking about his symptoms. Try to clarify in order to get a meaningful answer.
