Starting treatment in a week. Was off PPI's for 2 weeks prior to my endoscopy.
Is it OK to go back on Prilosec now for a week before actual treatment? (Will that hurt treatment)

I dont know necessarily which PPI Ill be taking on treatment.

Thanks!

you can start any ppi before actual treatment.
I believe it's actually better that way (Unproven data)

If you dont know which PPI to take, perhaps you can try rabeprazole.
