Brief Answer:
Try antacid and probiotic...
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
I understand your problem. It is difficult to predict what is causing the symptoms without clinical evaluation. But before considering tests, I suggest you try antacid - Syp Digene or Gelusil MPS after food and a probiotic like Cap VSL 3 once a day for 3-4 weeks.
I hope the problem gets better with this. If not, you need to visit a gastroenterologist for further evaluation. Hope this helps. Let me know if you need clarifications.
Regards
