you know, I couldn't say. I take the prilosec cuz the GI told me to. I never thought I had reflux, but I would get these (for lack of better terms) bile burps in the middle of my sleep. Just a little bubble/burp of acid and it would rise up my throat and pop just as I would inhale and it would wake me up choking unable to breath. But that was just once in awhile, so I can't really answer about
the reflux as a whole. The prilosec seemed to cure my problem a long time ago.
My 3rd loading dose is this Tues.
