Acid Reflux?: Sounds like acid reflux (GERD) and can initially be addressed with a good antacid: try the generic version of Gaviscon chewable tabs before meals and bedtime; moderate your diet to exclude excessive alcohol, highly acidic and/or fatty foods (tomatoes, cheese (pizza), other dairy, citric juices, etc.). Then talk to your primary care doctor/PA/NP for further investigations.

Reflux disease: Sounds like you are suffering from Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease or GERD. If you are truly experiencing bile in your reflux, that is very concerning and would necessitate evaluation by a Gastroenterologist as soon as possible.

Treatment w/PPI less: Bile reflux and gastric acid reflux are separate conditions. Whether bile is important in GERD is controversial. Bile is often a suspected of contributing to GERD when people respond incompletely or not at all to powerful acid-suppressant medications. Unlike gastric acid reflux, bile reflux can't be completely controlled by changes in diet or lifestyle.
