No, I hadn't heard about papaya enzymes. I read about it and it says not to use it if you are on blood thinners or have clotting problems. I have thrombocytopenia (low platelet count) so it isn't right for me. Thanks for the suggestion.

I'm coping okay without the Omeprazole by taking two fomitodine a day and using extra strength antacid tablets, elevating the head of my bed, adjusting my diet etc.
