Mgt/workup: I would suggest a screening test for H Pylori, a bacterial infection which is linked to GERD. In addition, your physician can order Liver function tests and consider another endoscopy. In the meantime, avoid eating after 8 pm and continue your Omeprazole.

Acid Reflux disease: Not sure if any one has guided you through lifestyle modification including but not limited to dietary changes to achieve balanced intake of macro and micro nutrients, avoiding smoking and excessive caffeine and alcohol, adequate physical activity and stress management. It takes time and effort to make the adjustment but it's worth looking into. For now you still need the medication.
