Actigall / Ursodiol (for gall bladder) and antacids?

Somehow for the first month I completely overlooked the label on my Actigall that said to avoid taking antacids within 2 hours of it. Since I had to take it and Pepcid twice a day, I was taking them together. After several weeks of breakthrough acid reflux, my doctor switched me to Prilosec, which I now take once a day - again, I was taking it in the morning with the Actigall.
I'm thinking maybe this isn't what the label meant by "antacids", and no harm done. I tried to call the pharmacist and ask, but they're closed for the evening. Does anyone know? Are they ok to take together? I keep forgetting to take the Prilosec now because I'm not used to taking a pill midday.
