Hi Lightingbird,
I am not a doctor and cannot tell you what you have, but I can tell you that yes, it does sound like acid reflux.
I went thru the same thing some years back where everytime I ate I would be nauseated, it started out being mild nausea and then as time progressed, it got worse and then it became so bad that it was not just what I ate that made me nauseated, but also everything that I drank, coffee, soda, even water.
It got to the point that I could no longer ignore the problem and knew that it was not going to go away on its own, so I take a trip to my doc, got thru some tests and it is found that I have acid reflux and a small ulcer and both of those things combined were making me very sick.
My doc put me on the little purple pill, (Nexium) and I have been symptom free for years now. I have tried to go without the pill for a few days a time or two and found that the reflux indeed is still there but is controlled by the Nexium.
Good luck to ya and I hope you find some relief from this aggravating illness soon. You do know that if left untreated over a lengthy period of time can cause erosion of your esophagus and can lead to more serious health problems? Not trying to be a know it all or anything just concerned because I have been there too!!
