How Can Acid Reflux Be Treated?

I am a 60 year old female, had a gastric bypass 11 years ago. No problems but started drinking wine a year ago excessively. I take omerprazole and vitamins daily. A few days ago I started waking up with heartburn in the morning, today I’ve had it all day. Nothing has helped.
