Sorry I don't have much advice...the only things I am trying (natural stuff, because I don't want to take the meds) are papaya supplements after dinner, and recently, DGL, which is deglycyrrhizinated licorice. Papaya is supposed to help digest food, and dgl is supposed to help heal the lining of the digestive tract. You can always see a GI doc as well...can't fool around with this because it can lead to cancer. Take care!
I get kind of a sour taste in my mouth as well. I'm not that anxious though and i really don't know why i'm not, i know i usually would be. There have been some moments during the day now that i've had small peaks of anxiety like if the nausea temporarily gets worse or if the sour taste comes back, i get that nervous butterfly feeling and my heart starts beating really fast and i'm like "oh god oh god i'm really going to v*" but i've managed to calm myself down before the nausea has gone down again! I feel really proud of myself for that, i feel like i have gained some control over the irrational thinking. Most doctors just tell me to quit smoking and i know that's not the problem (i sound like i'm in denial but i actually did quit once for a right long time and it didn't change anything) so i just can't bother to ask them about it : (
