Guest guest Posted January 7, 2000 Report Share Posted January 7, 2000 Prilosec won't work for EE; it is a proton pump inhibitor and just helps with stomach acid which has nothing to do with eosiniophilic inflammation from EE. However, some people have reflux too and it will help with that. One of my kids with the worst esophagitis was taking 100mg a day of Prilosec at one time. It didnt do a thing, but course we did not know then what we were dealing with. Steph.
