My GI switched me from Famotidine (aka Prilosec) to Omeprazole 10mg (aka Pepsid) as I was still having flare ups and 1st endoscopy showed possible Barrets Esophagus even though esophagus looked normal. The Omeprazole is working to control the reflux and I am careful about my diet which is key for reflux and also osteoporosis. My last endoscopy in May showed no indication of Barrets and all results normal. I'll see my GI again next May and will ask to try the Famotidine again which is less hard on the body. In Sept I have my 2nd Reclast infusion. No significant side effects with the 1st one last Sept.

Hi @lizzie12 just wanted to clarify for others Famotidine is also known as Pepcid while Omeprazole is also known as Prilosec. I have had experience with both just like you! I actually am on Prolia due to the Fosamax GI issues. Happy to see you had successful Recast infusions because I will be ending Prolia soon with Recast and hoping like you I will not have significant side effects.
