Detailed Answer:
Hello

Thank You for contacting HCM. My name is Dr Muhammad Ali Rauf & i will look into your problem.

I have gone through your query and would try to help you in the best possible way. It is usually recommended to take Omeprazole 30 mins before meal and preferably in the morning.
Studies about correlation of Pro-biotics with meal is controversial. It also depends upon if its enterically coated or not. If its non-enterically coated then its better to use it before or during meal.

Hope I have answered your query. If you have any further questions I will be happy to help if not then don't forget to close the discussion and rate it.
Wishing you good health !!
