Hi,
Thanks for writing your query.

After reading your post, I would like to advise that you should continue with the antacid Omeprazole. You can add Domperidone 30mg along with your antacid.

Digestive enzyme preparation containing pepsin and fungal diastase after meals will have added benefit.

Following precautions will be helpful :-
1.Avoid spicy and oily foods.
2.Avoid being empty stomach for long periods.
3.Avoid mental and emotional stress.
4.Avoid smoking and alcohol, if any.
5.Drink lots of water daily.
6.Do not eat fast and don't talk while eating.
7.Avoid gas producing foods like peas, legumes and cabbages.

I would also advise that you should get yourself clinically examined and investigated.

Following investigations may be helpful :-
1. Endoscopy.
2. Ultrasound Abdomen.
3. Test for H.pylori.

I hope this is helpful to you.
Thanks.
