What Do I Do To Prevent Bile From Rising To The Back Of My Throat During My Exercises?
Well I a few months ago I started to do ab exercises, the basic crunches and bicycle motion one, though after a few reps bile would come up my throat. After this repeatedly happening I had to stop, because it started to “burn” the back of my throat. This would happen even if I hadn’t eaten before starting my exercises and drinking water in between sets.

Bile? It could be stomach acid. You could have Gastrointestinal Reflux. Or you could be exercising the abs waaaay too much. As the ab muscles contract they impinge on the stomach and intestines. The pressure puts strain on the stomach and forces the sphincter muscle to open allowing stomach acid to seep out. When you are on your back stomach acids come up the esophagus and does indeed burn like the dickens.
For the bicycle pedal you could come up on your elbows, therefore creating a mini-crunch on your lower abdominals.
Check with your doctor. GRD is nasty and painful.
