What Is The Substitute Of Omeprazole After Treating Helicobactor Pylori ?
Hi I had helicobactor pylori 11 yrs ago and was treated for it, however, I continued to have reflux and ended up with a hernia repair. I was ok for around 5 yrs then reflux started up again........tests showed hernia was still closed. I am waiting for another HP breath test and have come off my meds ( omeprazole 20mgs ) and since then I keep getting a severe sharp pain in my stomach.......could this be result of stopping omeprazole? I don't have breath test till next week but don't think I will last without my meds! Anything else I can take, without interfering with the breath test?

Hi
i appreciate your concern
Looking at your history this could be due to stoppage of omeprazole which can produce rebound increase in acid production leads to aggravation of GERD
You can take another alternative of omeprazole like esomeprazole or pantoperazole
avoid spicy fatty and junk food
have plenty of fluids
Abstain smoking and alcohol
Hope this helps you
thanks for your question
wish you good health
