If you don't have any issues with sodium, try the baking soda. A lot of my gastroenterologist's patients gave up on the meds and have done well. I hope that your gastroenterologist informed you of the effect of PPIs on bones. (Mine did not, by the way.) PPIs are tricky drugs. They have odd side effects, none of which I knew much about when first prescribed to me.

Thanks! My gastroenterology didn't talk to me at all about ppis side effects. I've been taking Omeprazole for years. Yikes!! Too many meds with too many side effects!! This week I have CT scan for lung issues, so I will talk to doctor about Omeprazole after. Thanks for your advice.
