Suggest Treatment For Severe Stomach Pain

Please tell me all the alternatives to cure my acidic stomach. I always have stomach pain when it is empty for an hour or so. Recently I got prescription drug Omeprazole DR 20 MG taking one a day. But It worked only first few days and not any more. Thank you in advance.

Continue Omeprazole and add:
Liquid antacid 3 tsf at 3 hourly .
Small frequent meals .
Soft bland diet.

If the medical management fails , undergo upper GI endoscopy for proper diagnosis and treatment.
