Bile Reflux??

[L-A]

Hello all, I'm hoping someone can help me..I had RNY in 2009, everything has been pretty good (except for some regain). At 230 thus morning I awoke to what felt like someone pouring acid down my throat. I had dry heaves and it felt like my throat was closing and breathing was hard. A few minutes later I was able to cough up a fairly large amount of neon yellow bile. Almost 2 hours later it hurts to cough, throat hurts to swallow and can still "taste" the bile. I don't have my gallbladder. This is the first time this has happened....

TIA

That sounds just like my GERD attacks during the night (before surgery). I had this happen if I drank alcohol or ate too late right before bed. The acid burned my throat so bad that I had to suck on cough drops to sooth my throat.

Did you eat something acidic like tomato sauce, pizza or hot sauce?
