Scott, You might want to look-up the side effects for all medication you are on including the Prilosec. You need to correct the condition that is causing the acid reflux instead. It could be caused by too little acid. If you are cold all the time you might have low Thyroid. It sounds like you need a new doctor that uses holistic medicine. Brittle bones,-you need supplements!

Hey, Group! I was woken up this morning aspirating on my own saliva. I grabbed a kleenex next to the bed and spit out this nasty, bile tasting stuff that was a blackish-brown color. This is about the third time this has happened in the past 3 years and I feel like I just fought a huge battle in the "Octagon" - cage fighting for those that don't know. My muscles ache, my bones feel brittle and I am very cold even though it is over 80 degrees in my home. I have a condition called "Barrett's Esophagus" and take Prilosec to help reduce the acid reflux that comes with the results of having a Hiatal Hernia that protrudes thru my diaphragm. The labs I have had over the past 5 years have shown slightly low white blood counts with everything else within normal ranges. I don't want to go back to my doctor as he just writes it off as all part of my GERD and writes me another acid-reducing Rx. I've been making and taking CS for the past two years and haven't had even a cold. Anyhow, what could this be and what, if anything at all, do you folks suggest I do?
