Most everyone would have less Gerd if they lost weight, and if you cannot stop Gerd, it can damage your esophagus and may lead to cancer according to what I have been told. I have been taking Omeprazole for a long time.
Data info sheet for Omeprazol, clearly do not take Omeprazole for long-term - since I started taking Bragg Organic Apple Cider plus 2 tablespoons of homemade sauerkraut and homemade Kimchi both fermented (I know must like the taste) I have stopped all medication for GERD and Hiatal Hernia. Although I took Omeprazole only occasionally after reading warning for long-term use the Doctor changed to Famotidine Tabs 40mg which I have but haven't needed to take yet; another medication that works well is Carafate Suspension 10ML. If I do have an occasional flare-up I take this at bedtime. Good luck.
