Side effects with omeprazole/Prilosec use

I too am wanting to know if anyone has successfully removed Prilosec/Omeprazole from their medication list. I have been on it for over 8 years (started at 40 mg now at 20mg). I was put on the Prilosec for multiple stomach ulcers and have not had another one in several years yet doctor still has me on the medication. I was recently diagnosed with a rare form of IBS called Lymphocytic Colitis which has been shown to be connected to long term use of PPI's. I currently take 20 mg of the prilosec and want to remove it from my regiment. I am finding my doctor is big on prescriptions over "lifestyle changes" and want to move in a more "prescription free" lifestyle. Please, any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi
I have been on omerzole for over 20 years. If I go off them the acid reflux starts again. This medication is saving me for this but I have other issues with severe pains in the belly. I am sick all the time. I’ve had every test possible and everything comes bak negative. I just do not know what to do anymore.
