Brief Answer:
Yes, you can start taking it!

Detailed Answer:
Hi and thank you so much for this query.

I am so sorry to hear about this acid problem. Fasting seems to worsen your health and I don't know whether continuing to fast being fully aware of the consequences on your health would be a great idea.

In any case, you can start taking omeprazole. This would certainly help but would have been better should you be able to eat and help prevent this condition than using drugs to control for symptoms. I will suggest you review the reasons for fasting and consider stopping if your health has to suffer this much because of it. The recommended dose is often 20mg morning and 20mg in the evening. Talk to your pharmacist or doctor to make sure this is the correct dosage for you.

I hope this helps. I wish you well. Thank you so much for using our services and do feel free to ask for more information and clarifications if need be.
