Is Excessive Gas A Side Effect Of Omeprazole?

I have had heart burn for a number of years and has gotten worse over past winter. My Dr. put me on Pms-Omeprazole. I have developed an excess amount of gas since being on this (for 3 months). Is this a normal side effect. Is there any other medication that can be taken that does not do this.
