Dr. John Rhoades answered

Continue omeprazole: First, restart the omeprazole. Also try to avoid the triggers for the GERD. Go online, and look at the suggestions for GERD and you will find a number of foods, drugs, life habits to avoid. Your GERD will prob be a lifetime intermittent problem, so try to look for ways to control it without meds.
