Getting Off of Omeprazole: Share your success stories please.

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.

Ok thanks for the suggestion. I’ve been taking Omeprazole just about : years. I only had one “attack” of intense bloating and gas before getting that upper GI that showed a sliding hiatal hernia. I’ll take it every other day then and see how that goes for a week or so. Then try every 3 days. It’s a capsule form. The doctor said just quit and manage it over the counter until the symptoms fade or I could go back to taking it. It’s an experiment I guess ..with me as the guinea pig.
