What is the ruling on food returning to the mouth during fasting?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : The questioner says: When I am fasting, due to poor digestion, some food comes up until it reaches the throat, then returns, and it may reach the mouth. What is the ruling on that?

The Shaykh : If a person burps and something comes up from his stomach and reaches his mouth, it is obligatory for him to spit it out and not swallow it. However, if he senses its taste in his throat but it does not reach his mouth, and he swallows it without it coming out, he owes nothing, because it did not reach the mouth.
