My personal experience is not good either. I’ve been in omeprazole for probably at least 10 years. My Gastrointestinal doc just took me off when it was discovered I have stage 3A kidney disease. So, for me, the question is…did it cause the decline in my kidneys?? I can’t tell you what to do in your situation, but I hope you can get off. I started eating more plant based and that has helped a lot. I still have some bouts of reflux but when I stay strict with eating properly, I’m much better! Best of luck!
