[QUOTE="flutterby, post: 336483, member: 7083"] What is the dose of the omneprazole? 20mg is what you get OTC, but you can go to 40mg. I started at 20mg, then went to 40mg. It worked for a while and then I started having breakthrough symptoms. My doctor switched me to Protonix which has helped some. I still have breakthrough symptoms, but they're not as intense. Plus, they're smaller pills and easier to swallow - which is a big issue for me. Also, you should know that people on proton pump inhibitors - Prilosec (omneprazole), Protonix, Nexium, etc - do not absorb regular calcium properly. Talk to your doctor, but calcium [U]citrate[/U] is the supplement that is needed. [/QUOTE]
