Acid reflux: This could be acid reflux. The common risk factors are eating large meals or lying down right after a meal, being overweight or obese, smoking, citrus fruits, and drinking certain beverages, such as alcohol, carbonated drinks, coffee, or tea. Treatment includes avoiding trigger factors, not eating at least 2 to 3 hours before lying down. losing weight and taking antireflux medications.

NotSymptomOfReux: Just throwing up once after eating a snack is not enough to diagnose GastroEsophageal reflux .one time vomiting after eating may be related to what kind of snack you ate and the status of your stomach . Gastritis will be more likely.Reflux causes typical symptoms burning or pain feeling in mid chest, belching,difficulty swallowing.Bad breath,irritation throat, hoarseness AM,Relief with antacids
