Hi,
Thanks for writing your query.
After reading your post, I would suggest that you can take an antacid like Omeprazole 40mg once a day before meals along with Domperidone 30mg for relief. A probiotic will have added benefits.
I hope this is helpful to you.
Thanks.

Brief Answer:
Domperidone is a prescription medicine.

Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Thanks for providing more information.
You can continue with protonix 40 instead of taking Omeprazole as it has similar action. Domperidone is a prescription medicine and it will help in relieving your symptoms.
If by taking yalkut, more gas is formed, you should avoid it. Instead you can take probiotic in capsule form. Avoid milk base products in excess.
I hope this answers your query. If you have any further doubts, please mention.
Regards. Thanks.
