Thanks! I am seeing an osteopathic doctor now and goi g to stop taking Omeprazole and see what happens. She is ok with me trying this. I found out almost 3 years ago I have a sliding hiatal hernia and the GE started me on the oneprazole just a 40 mg in the morning. Wish me luck because like most folks, every food on the “bad” list is what I like to eat.

If you've been taking the PPI for 3 years, then you have to wean yourself off slowly, otherwise you'll have rebound acid. So I suggest getting a 20 mg dose and reducing to that for a number of days (look on the internet - some say 10 days), and then if you feel ok you can stop the 20 mg one day but take it the next day and taper off slowly. Let us know how it goes.
