Ear Infection, IBS, Heartburn, Bloating. Prescribed Flucloxacillin And Omeprazole. Will They Work?

Hi, I was prescribed Flucloxallin yesterday for an ear infection. A couple of monnths ago I was also prescribed Ompeprazole for heartburn caused by IBS. I didn t finish the presecription as the symptoms went away. However since starting flucloxacillin the heart burn and bloating has returned. Would I be able to resume the omeprazole at same time as flucloxacillin? Many thanks,
