Yes I have gotten a sore throat from reflux,
Omeprazole is only supposed to be given for weeks but it seems everyone I know is on it permanently. Your body responds by making more acid, I was told, so it can be hard to get off. You can replace it with Pepcid or Zantac then taper off. If you ever want to get off.

When tapering off of Omeprazole with the help of Pepcid, do you take the meds every other day or together?
Windyshores,
I have been on Protonix for years. When I told the gastroenterologist that I wanted yo get off of it, he reduced it from 40mg to 20mg, but was negative about completely getting off.
I am in the throes of a pretty intense GERD attack now.
I think I might finally have to go on the FODMAP diet to see if I can figure out diet
triggers better. I’m a 39 year vegetarian and already have a pretty clean diet.
And, sore throat from GERD - yes!

Thank you. I don’t think I can stop taking the medication because my acid reflux can also cause severe vagus nerve pain.
