Can Omeprazole Be Resumed For Abdominal Bloating And Belching After Discontinuation?
I have been taking omeprazole by prescription for about 5 years. My primary symptom is bloating and gas/belching. Lately these symptoms have increased ... again. I take 40 mg one per day, at bedtime. I am female, age 69 with no other health issues. Do I need a different prescription? After this length of time, is the Rx no longer effective?

Hello! Welcome to HealthcareMagic!
If you are not finding any improvement. I will advise you to switch it with a Tab Aciloc 150, half an hour before breakfast, for 15 days. Stop eating oily and spicy food. Take dinner at least 2 hours before sleep. Avoid tea and coffee. Continue green tea. If you smoke and take alcohol, then try to quit it.
Take care
