I started on omeprazole for 2 mos but cant avoid foods that may trigger the acid. My voice becomes harsh.

Hello,
It is due to inflammation of your vocal cord caused by reflux. As a first line management, you can take antacids like Omeprazole or Pantoprazole for symptomatic relief. Avoid spicy food.
If symptoms persist better to consult a gynaecologist and plan for an endoscopy.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
