I've been battling reflux ever since my surgery. At first, they did an Upper GI and saw something that "could" be an ulcer, so they told me to double Omeprazole for 6 weeks and return for a 2nd UGI. I had that this week and all is healed (thank God!). But I'm on 40mg TWO times a day. I've started to suspect that maybe Omeprazole itself is giving me reflux? Anyone have any experiences like this?

If I take it, I still have heartburn, sometimes all day. But the rare day that I forget to take it? Are not any worse, and sometimes I swear I feel better!

Am I crazy?

Are you eating or drinking anything acidic? That's usually the culprit.

No, I'm trying so hard to stay away. Which is making healthier eating hard, btw. No, no juices, no red sauce, no spices. Almost no caffeine.

I moved to nexium - instead of the generic and it did help
