A member asked:
What is better for lpr/silent reflux/hard time eating/swallowing foods. prilosec or zantac? prescribed both but feel prilosec makes symptoms worse?

Intolerant to: prilosec ? Your doctor can put you on a different ppi inhibitor and see how you are going to feel. If still makes symptoms worse then you take just zantac and in the mean time your doctor try to find the reason . May do an endoscopy if you did not have one so far. So call your doctor and see how things progress from there, Take care.
