Hi Dear ,
Welcome to HCM.
Understanding your concern. As per your query you have symptoms of increased in acidity and burping after taking Teva omeprazole 20 mg which is mainly due to production of acid/ bile and accumulation of gas due to too much swallowed air, which cause releasing the air to reduce the distention of the stomach due to burping . I would suggest you to drink plenty of water to prevent dehydration. You should take few preventive measures such as keep bed raised on bed side. Avoid large meal. You should take small but frequent meals. Avoid taking stress. Avoid pulses, chocolates, fatty food from diet. Take prokinetics such as Domperidone.Take antacids such as omeprazole after meals. If symptoms keeps on persisting, visit Gastroenterologist once for evaluation and start treatment as per diagnosis. Your symptoms will resolve. Avoid hot, sharp spicy foods as it will leads to excessive acid production. Take diet rich in soft, plain and fiber rich food.
Hope your concern has been resolved.
Get Well Soon.
Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
