Hey Gayla! Hope you've had a lovely Labor Day, despite the indigestion!
I'd say the meds can cause reflux, yup. I never take mine on an empty stomach, just in case... even a few crackers beforehand really helps. Peppermint also aggravates it - I don't know if you're taking the caps or drinking the tea, but you might want to go easy on it. I can only handle the tea, and only when I'm having an attack; if I drank it every day, I'd be in agony.
My boyfriend has bad heartburn/reflux, and Prilosec is the only thing that's ever worked for him consistently. If you used to take it anyway, I say give it a shot! I used it for a while, and did feel a lot better after a 2-week course of it.
Good luck - hope you feel better!
