It was wise though to go for a trial of omeprazole but the chronicity of the symptoms you described favors more towards Giardiasis. In my opinion you should screen for giardiasis and bacterial overgrowth syndrome but don't panic, both conditions can be cured. For instance proceed with stool R/E, giardia stool antigen test, and hydrogen breath test.
