Brief Answer:
Gastritis possible, use antiacids such Pepto-Bismol or maalox, low acidity

Detailed Answer:
Hello dear, welcome to Ask a doctor service.
I read your query and here is my advice.

I think you may be suffering from gastritis, inflammation of the mucosal lining of the stomach which can cause stomach pain and burping.
Taking prilosec, as you are doing is good in order to inhibit secretion of hydrogen ions by stomach cells as reduce symptoms.
You also should remember to eat low acidity diet, less tomato sauce, fruit juices, alcohol and caffeine, less carbonated drinks, less fatty foods etc.
Also taking antiacids such Pepto-Bismol or maalox is advisable.
Taking ibuprofen, aspirin or other antinflamatory drugs may cause more irritation.
Hope I have answered the question.
Let me know if I can assist you further.
