Zoe, spitting up clear liquid

Suggestions Please!
I am on day three for giving my newly diagnosed EPI GSD her powdered enzymes. I am using Biocase. For the first two days I gave her two cups CANIDAE® Grain Free PURE Ridge™ Dog Dry Formula with Real Chicken (which is what she was already used too), two teaspoons powder, 1/2 cup warm water, incubated between 30-60 minutes two times a day. In the last 48 hours she has had two poops that were completly formed and somewhat darker in color and then all the others were more EPI typical stools, yellow, grainy, soft, mushy, cow-patty, with some mixture of soft formed. My biggest concern is that five times since starting the enzymes, in two days, she has "spit-up" clear liquid. She just opens her mouth, doesn't make any retching sounds, bends over and clear liquid comes out. Sometimes almost like a light spray of just a few drops, other times the size of a silver dollar to a large pancake of liquid on the ground. One time she made a kind of belching sound and then a few drops of clear liquid hit the ground. She has gotten one B-12 shot and I have ordered the Pet Factor B-12 and will start that orally daily once I get it. Her B-12 level was 279 and TLI was 1.3. I know there are many recommendations from antibiotics to probiotics etc, but I wanted to be methodical and start the fewest things first to see how she responded. What do you think the spitting up of clear liquid is a sign of? My best guess is acid reflux from the enzyme powder as this is the only new thing at this point and she has never done this before. Should I continue on or change formulas? Should I continue the same dose even though her poops haven't changed that much yet and just give it more time? Still pooping frequently (11 times total after two days of enzymes), about the same or a little less frequent than before.
