Hi, thanks for using healthcare magic

Acid reflux can be associated with feeling as though food in stuck, regurgitation, nausea, burning sensation, vomiting, bloating.
It is treated with lifestyle changes and medication.

Lifestyle changes include: (1)using small frequent meals instead of large meals
(2)avoid spicy, acidic, citrus, fatty or fried foods
(3)reducing use of chocolate, mint, tomato, caffeine
(4)waiting at least 2 hours before lying down after eating

There is also medication that may help such as prilosec, prevacid, nexium, aciphex.

In terms of the constipation the use of a high fiber diet would be useful.This means at least 5 portions of fruits and vegetables, whole wheat rice/pasta/bread.

A fiber supplement may also be needed.

I hope this helps

HI
Well come to HCM
The symptoms could be suggestive of hyperacidity with some intestinal infection, if I would be your doctor then I would treat this condition with Tab Secnidazole single dose pack, with Tab Omeprazole 40 mg once in day with Tab Domperidone 30 mg once in day, for three week, drink more water and keep the stress level very low, take care ( comment :- constipation is condition and not the disease in it self and this is most disturbing every one get conscious )
