reflux when dieting?

LissaP26

Has anyone begun having reflux while dieting? For the past 2 weeks, I've been experiencing a sore throat/lump in my throat feeling, combined with some nausea, and loss of appetite. I was on an antibiotic a couple weeks ago for a UTI, and the symptoms started around the same time. Today, I had to break down and go to the pharmacy for some OTC prilosec because I can't deal with the symptoms anymore. I'm wondering if it could have been a reaction to the antibiotic or if it's a result of my stomach getting smaller with the diet. Any experience or suggestions?? thanks!
