Side effects with omeprazole/Prilosec use

I take 40mg omeprozole every 3 days with zantac in between if needed. Dr wants me off omeprozole because it is linked to dementia and I have been on a ton of different antacids for the past 20 years. I have done some research and some articles say it is the lack of acid in the stomach that causes heartburn/gerd. They even suggest using betaine hcl with every meal which creates acid in the stomach to help breakdown food. They also talk about a large amount of people diagnosed with heartburn and gerd actually have bad bacteria growing in your intestines that thrive in low acid and that is the cause of heartburn. I am completely confused about my gerd now and don't know what is right. Anyone else heard of taking betaine hcl ?

I know these are real diagnosis and pain. I had bad stomach problems they couldn't find so I started on my own journey of healing myself. I slowly started essential oils and found one called Digize for gut problems. I drop 3 drops in a capsule and that was two years ago. I haven't had any heart burn, up nausea, pain, etc. since I've started that one. I missed a few doses and then a few weeks, never noticed I didn't need it like I did.
If your willing and the doctor says its ok for you, Its worth trying. I buy Young living oils for the Digize.But I use Dr. Axe's oils because they are organic. Take a look, I get nothing, just wanted to share because it works for me.
