Alternate to Prilosec OTC?

Question:

My b/f was told to take Prilosec OTC once daily to prevent acid
buildup, GERD - it seems to be causing him to have diarrhea (sorry if this is TMI, but this is a serious question) What can he take in place of the Prilosec? I know it's a Proton Pump Inhibitor; are there other brands that he can take without the side effects?
Thanks for any info -

Answers:
zantac is not a PPI, but if it helsp then great, other things that can be tried are mylanta, maalox, gaviscon etc. he can raise te head end of the bed with a brick, that also helps and most important avoid things that precipitate reflux, good luck

Zantac 75
