Is it Acid Reflux or something even more serious?

[jessica03]

Ever since I was born I have been told that I have Acid Reflux. It used to be triggered by milk products. I would throw-up every time I had a milk product. When I was in Second Grade I had a test done where I had to drink a chalky liquid that they X-Rayed. (Please forgive the foggy details but it was quite some time ago). They decided that my flap from my esophagus and stomach doesn't close properly. Over the years my acid reflux would get worse than better then worse again. And now at 19 it's the worse it has ever been. Every time I eat I have to throw-up. Sometimes it's just a mouth full and other times it's quite a lot. And it doesn't matter what I eat. It can even be just a bottle of water. What I'm confused about is that I don't ever have heartburn like most Acid Reflux sufferers. I very often throw up straight stomach bile which burns, but is that heartburn? I'm starting to get very concerned because this is really affecting my life and with getting ready to move out to college I want to get this taken care of, or at least understand it better.

I'll look for the other thread. I have not had a Barium test redone lately currently my Aunt is going through a lot of the same problems and the doctors can not figure out what it is she is having a lot of test done on her, so we are waiting for her results. I'm currently on no medications.
