What Causes Bitter Taste On Back Of The Tongue?

I was recently treated for LPR and the physician even suspects "silent reflux". I am on Prilosec twice daily. What bothers me most is the bitter taste always on the back of my tongue. I had been given azithromyacin pack at the start which had no effect. I was wondering if this bitter taste is from the anti-biotics or the reflux?
certainly nothing I eat is appealing and has cut down my appetite drastically.
I am hoping this goes away.
Thank you.
