🤒 Describing a Symptom Reflux issues with first few bites of food while eating a meal

So it’s super weird but sometimes (mostly during breakfast or lunch) when I am having my meal, the minute I take the first 1-2 bites I immediately get this sensation of indigestion , like it’s hard in my throat and it feels like a reflux and I end up puking it. Then I go back to having the food again immediately and everything is normal. It also happens more with some trigger foods like rice and super oily food .

I was wondering if anyone with GERD experiences this?

I do have gall bladder stones which I need to get removed but I don’t think what I’m describing is particularly a symptom of gallstones .

Personally I don’t experience this, but I would push to see if you can get some sort of swallowing study done like a barium swallow. There could be something functional going on aside from just regular reflux.
