I guess it works. I don't get as much pain when I eat, but if I do forget it the pain that I have when I do eat comes back terribly. I still have some pain when I eat, but it's not nearly as rough when I take the Omeprazole.

Advice & Tips
This is the same stuff that you can get over the counter but it's much cheaper if I get it through our mail order pharmacy. I put all my drugs into a drug interaction checker and discovered that it might negate the effects of an aspirin-like NSAID I take. That, and the fact that it has to be taken 1/2 hr before eating, made it tough to figure out where in the day to fit it in. Lately I've been taking it first thing in the morning, as soon as I get up, and then I take my AM meds (which have to be taken with food) a short while later. This schedule seems to work for me.
